.Vindicated.Of.Sanity. Haha, weird question... do you have to have had sex to get an STI? And how would you know if you had an STI? I'm a little paranoid sometimes. XD
The STDs or STIs that can be transmited without sexual contact are mostly transmitted through blood exchange (say, some drug junkies use the same needle to inject drugs) or if a mother pass it through her child.
The three bacterial asymptomatic diseases can be passed to a baby (gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia); most kids who born with abnormalities or dead is mostly because of an untreated STD. That's the importance of getting tested regularly; they do not present symptoms, but they also have cure. Antibiotics for several weeks, and that's it (depending of how long the bacteria have been in the body, or how much damage it have done). They're curable, but they leave permanent damage; Al Capone died of mental complications due to syphilis, so as Pocahontas on 1622. Women can get infertile due to chlamydia or gonorrhea that's not treated on time.
Hepatitis A, B and C (the C has no cure) are also transmitted by other fluids, like urine and sweat. However, most kids these days are immunized against them.
HIV is mostly transmitted through the blood rather than sexual contact. Hepatitis (mostly B and C) can also be transmitted this way (Pamela Anderson contracted Hepatitis C because she used the same needle as her ex husband, Tommy Lee, for a tattoo; she's on a lifetime treatment to make sure the virus does not keep on harming her).
Warts (HPV) are also all over the body. That's why is so important to get vaccinated against HPV; genital warts could also cause cervical cancer
You can also get more info on STDs/STIs at your local library, planned parenthood clinic (only planned parenthood; other centers, like Crisis Pregnancy Centers, only give wrong information), or your school (only if it have an objective, non bias sex ed program).

Rei Uchikino Scubas_girl Scubas_girl umm...how early can you find out if your pregnant or not? There are pregnancy tests that you can take up to five days before your expected period. It's hard to trust those however since you can't always trust your period to come on the exact day marked on the calendar. I also heard that it's best to wait nine to ten days after ovulation to take the test to help lower the chance of a false negative. But this is also hard to trust since it's hard to know when you're ovulating. Unless you buy an ovulation test (Similar to a pregnancy test.) and those are pretty pricey. It's best to wait a week after your missed period, or your period if you suspect your pregnant. (Some women often mistake implantation bleeding as their period.) I would wait fourteen days after my period just to be safe. okay... im afraid im gonna be one of the girls on the show "I didn't know i was pregnant" >.< What are the chance if my period comes between the last 2 weeks of the month? just wondering

I really don't know if the time of month determines whether or not you're pregnant. May I ask? Do you usually get your period around that time of month?

Hmm, I think she might be asking about fertile days. This is how you determine your approximate fertile days. Subtract the total days in your cycle (say, 26) by 14. The total, 12, is the day in which you will ovulate. Two days prior (10 and 11) and two days after (13 and 14) are the fertile days.
If it's been over a week, say 10 days, after the missed period you'd better get tested for pregnancy. Planned parenthood offer them without appointments, or you can buy one at the pharmacy.

Ahh, thank you so much! n.n;; I was kinda freakin' out because I heard that you can catch things off toilet seats and I was like, ohnoes because when I was little I didn't ever like, cover public toilet seats or anything. I guess that's mostly wrong? I need to get vaccinated for HPV; I'm a little upset that only this year did they start offering the grade nine girls HPV vaccines; I'm thinking what about us older girls?! But I've been vaccinated against hepatituses :3 Thanks again!
Hahaha. Random, but I just found out my mom's gyno is named Dr. Cox. How unfortunate~

My last one was the very last week of the month. but on some occostions it comes during the middle. So, should i try figuring out with my normal cycles?
and this happened to me...friday, so i know its to early for a pregnancy test. I just want to know all the facts...just in case... eek haha...i hope im not >.<

Perfect Stranger 3-0 shadow_child001 I have a question about oral somewhat. Last night I gave oral for the first time. And I kept getting a runny nose. Does this happen to alot of girls? What causes it? Runny nose after oral sex? I've never heard of that! If you think it might be serious, go to a doctor and get checked. I think it might not be something serious, but if it gets worse, do what I said.
Actually it kept happening during oral. I don't think it's serious but it's really distracting during the act.
