Can you get an STD from someome who has never been sexually active?

It is generally not possible to contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD) from someone who has never been sexually active. STDs are spread through contact with infected bodily fluids, such as semen, vaginal fluids, or blood. If someone has never had sexual contact, they will not have been exposed to these fluids and therefore cannot transmit an STD.

There are a few rare exceptions to this rule. For example, it is possible to contract herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which causes oral herpes, through non-sexual contact with someone who has the virus. However, this is only possible if the person comes into direct contact with the infected person's saliva or skin lesions.

Another exception is hepatitis B virus (HBV), which can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or semen. However, HBV is not usually transmitted through casual contact, such as shaking hands or sharing a drink.

If you are concerned about contracting an STD, it is important to talk to your doctor. They can provide you with information about the risks of STDs and how to protect yourself.
