A member asked:

Is it possible to get an std if the other person is not infected? for example, is it possible for me to get chlamydia if my partner doesnt have it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: You can get an STD if a partner is infected or if you masturbate with a contaminated toy that has the germs on it. If your partner is not infected the main risk is pregnancy. Realize that there are non-traditional diseases that can pass during sex, like flu, hepatitis, mono, etc, but these are not considered STD's by most people.
