std and pregnant??
I'm 12 weeks pregnant and just found out I have an stdio I don't know which one yet but I'm really scared my partner I'd the dad and I haven't been with anyone else since 2013 and either as he so he says I believe him but is it possible because he went to jail and tested clean last year in June so is it possible that whatever I have stayed dormant and has popped up because I'm pregnant I've heard of this happening but I just don't know can it hurt my baby I'm a ftm
You cannot get an std from keeping a tampon in too long, not changing your panties enough, a yeast infection, etc. The only way you can get a std is through sex. Talk to your doctor about it if you're not sure and they will confirm that. If you have been faithful then there's something your partner isn't telling you. It's possible that you could have an std for years and not have any symptoms but you would still test positive for it. If your partner tested clean last June then sometime between June and now, he had sex with someone that had an std and passed it to you.
Agreed^ but one more bit of info... If you research where STDs started from, they believe they started from animal/human cross contamination. Sheep carried syphillis and so on... You are 100% correct, they did come from somewhere but animals were the first carriers. Just like most illness such as the flu.
I think the bigger problem here is why you've not been told what you have and have not started treatment, that matters a lot more than who have who the STD
STD and STI originated from somewhere, they didn't just pop up one day, STDs like Chlamydia originated when women wore the same underwear or a bathing suit for to long
Having a vaginal infection or bacteria problem can raise the chances of getting an STD but it will not give you or turn into an STD that is very impossible... STDs are SEXUALLY transmitted diseases. I've done quite a bit of research as well as talked to my OB on this topic since I was told I had chlamydia years ago. But anyway, your doctor should've told you exactly what you tested positive for once you received your results and they should've provided treatment or treatment options. Maybe get a second opinion if that wasn't relayed to you. Goodluck
You need to swap a lot of bodily fluids and the reason these diseases are sexually transmitted are because the lining of the vaginal and anal walls are MUCH thinner than skin so it absorbs easily..you can get these diseases without having sex but the chance of it happening ? One in a billion haha. I have done a lot of research in my studies actually :)
If you ladies really think that the only way of getting an std is through sex I feel for you....you could drink after someone and get an infection just the same way that you can get strep. Std are usually a swap of bodily fluids....really ladies. Let's do our research here.
What kind of doctor do you have that tells you you have an STD but keeps it a secret and doesn't tell you which one? I would go back and speak to your doctor so you can get it treated. Also STDS are only sexually transmitted
OK well...2013 to 2015 and u haven't been with anyone else I'd say there's something he's not telling you. Also STDs r from having sex with sumone who has one, so of neither of u had one and all a sudden you do have one somebody isn't telling the truth. and with the people injecting STDs into fruit that std wouldn't live long without a human host but that's still horrible.
You can't get it through infection like the other ladies said. With how it is today there's people that actually inject blood onto certain things like fruit candy ext. If you watch the news about a month ago people were injecting positive blood for hiv or std into fruits..
Yeah you can. I had to do a report on STDs for a sex ed class. STDs have to come from somewhere originally. Someone didn't wave a magic wand and all of a sudden there were STDs. Yes you get them usually through sex. But just because they can be transmitted that way does not mean that's how they are always gotten.
You can't get an STD from a vaginal infection or a tampon, they're transmitted sexually. There are some that don't really have any symptoms so it's possible that you could have had it for a while. Just talk to your partner about it and make sure he gets tested as well, then you will have your answer. Make sure you talk to your doctor and get all the information you need. Good luck!
Unfortunately the only way you can get an STD is through sex. That's why they're called a sexually transmitted disease. All stds will show up whenever you're tested for them but it is possible you just didn't have any symptoms. But one of y'all had to get it from some one they don't just form on their own.
I've heard of women getting STDs due to a viginal infection going untreated or a tampon staying in the vagina for too long. But if it is an STD that just popped up because of some of those reasons or because it was dormant then your SO still wouldn't have it (since you said he tested clean last year) so he shouldn't disagree with getting tested. And if he comes back positive, then that would be a conversation you need to have with him, especially if you haven't been with someone else and it wasn't one that formed in your body or was dormant. Good luck mama
