Is it possible to acquire std without having any sexual activity?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
In a way, Yes: For example Genital herpes is an STD and can be acquired from skin to skin contact and does not necessarily need vaginal penetration or "oral" sex, etc.

No: No, it isn't. You do not get an STD from a toilet seat
