A member asked:

Could i get an std from someone who has not had sexual relations with another person?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Define std: There are illnesses like hepatitis b that can pass sexually from an active carrier. That person may have never been sexually active. Some sti's are less likely to be acquired without sex, so those would be unlikely in that situation..
