Is it possible for you to contract a std without an outbreak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You could have a sexually transmitted disease which is "silent" which means that there are no obvious symptoms. You could also catch an std from someone who doesn't have an apparent outbreak - such as herpes simplex.
