Can you get an STD from having multiple partners?

Yes, having multiple sexual partners increases the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Each new partner introduces the potential for exposure to a variety of STDs, making it more likely for an individual to become infected. STDs can be transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Practicing safe sex and engaging in open communication about sexual health with your partners can help to reduce the risk of contracting STDs.
