A member asked:

I have had two sore throats this month and i have got another one today what exactly can it be and also i have never had any type of sex can it be std?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not an STD: Most sore throats are caused by viral illnesses. If yours recur and are accompanied by fever and systemic illness, consider a strep test. If you have never been sexually active you cannot have an STD.
