Question
I am emailing you that me and my boyfriend lost our virginity together and we didnt have sex with other people yet and i wondering want to know if i can get STD from him if he didnt have sex with other people besides me and we had sex without condom one time while i was on birth control shot so do you think i can catch std from him?
Sexually transmitted infections are transmitted from person to person sexually. If someone has never had any type of sex before then there is no way they could have contracted a sexually transmitted infection and therefore cannot pass it on to anyone else.
