STDs questions

[Sir Jacksalot]

1. can you get any STDs from having sex with a virgin?
2. what is the chance that your partner has any STDs?
3. what do you do if you marry someone and later you find out he/she has STDs?

1. can you get any STDs from having sex with a virgin?
Yes. You can get HIV (which developes into AIDS from my understanding) from a virgin if s/he has caught it in another way, such as using an unsterile needle.

2. What is the chance that your partner has any STDs?
There are so many variables to this. Is your partner a virgin or not? If s/he's not has s/he had protected sex or not? Is s/he a drug user or not? Does your partner test positive for any kind of STD?

3. What do you do if you marry someone and later you find out he/she has STDs?
This is kind of your responsibility. If you marry someone, it's up to you to understand his/her past, like drug use and whether s/he's a virgin or not, and if s/he isn't, then if s/he was protected or had a history of STD's.

1. Yes. Many STDs can be transfered by things other than vaginal sex. Also, if someone says they're a "virgin", it might not be true.
2. Depends on the history of the person.
3. Then I'm going to have to guess you're either going to protect yourself the best you can, or contract it yourself.

The bottom line is, use a condom all the time everytime with any sex. The only sex that I would say a condom is optional is a handjob and potentially fingering. Vaginal, oral, anal sex all need condoms to be safe.

Yeah, accurate responses so far.

Unless you are both virgins, then you should wear a condom always. Get into that habit, don't give it a lot of thought or go thru some process of justification for NOT using it (as these types of posts often are). If you or she are nonvirgins, use a rubber.

When you're in a serious, long term relationship, OR contemplating marriage, then you and she get a blood test, at least 6 months (it can take that long for HIV to show up) after last unprotected sex with another partner, and if you're both 'clean', then you can assume that is so.

1. can you get any STDs from having sex with a virgin?
You can be born with an STD. And lots of other ways to get it, so yes. You can.


2. what is the chance that your partner has any STDs?
Probably higher than you'd think, if they're not a virgin. Just be careful. Condoms are important.

3. what do you do if you marry someone and later you find out he/she has STDs?
If you want to have sex with them, there's not much you can do. You can try to avoid it with condoms and such, but in the end... chances are you'll get it.

wait if we both are virgins... we don't have to use a condom?
and how can you know if someone was born with an STD? only by blood test?

Incorrect.

and how can you know if someone was born with an STD? only by blood test?

You know in the same way as if they got an STD through sex, a test.
