Is strep throat an std?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hard to say: I suppose you can acquire this from your infected partner during a sexual interlude. However, it would be the exchange of saliva and not the sex that passed the germ.If you want to call it a std i suppose you could, but most would not include it in this group of illnesses.

No: Strep throat is a common germ spread by saliva droplets from an infected persons cough, kiss or sharing a drink. Gonorrhea is an std that can cause a red throat, pus and fever. Usually happens after having oral sex with an infected person.
