A member asked:
Is pid itself transmittable through sexual contact or is it the initial std that is the transmittable one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Initial: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is dangerous and usually requires hospitalization and IV medication.The germ behind it can be passed to a partner, but the PID represents the response of the person that gets infected.The same germ may not be able to do as much damage to another person.There is no male equivalent.
