This question seems easy to answer, a sexual transmitted disease without sexual contact seems ruled out. In general, this is true, but things are a little more complicated. An STD without sex is not entirely impossible. In this blog, we explain to you how certain STDs are passed on and whether there is a chance of contracting this STD without sexual contact.
For most STDs e. However, what people mean by "sex" can vary. Not only penetration of the vagina or anus counts. Acquiring gonorrhea or chlamydia is also possible through oral sex. This is because these STDs can lodge in the throat so there is a chance that you will pass the STD on again if you give oral sex to someone, kiss tongue or use saliva as lubricant.
This is especially true for gonorrhea. Also by sharing not properly cleaned sex toys and by jerking off or fingering someone and then not washing your hands you can spread chlamydia and gonorrhea.
This is because the bacteria are in bodily fluids, such as vaginal fluids, semen, pre-cum and saliva. When you get this fluid on your mucous membranes in the mouth, vagina, penis, anus or eyes , the bacteria can settle there and then you are infected as well.
This means that someone else's blood enters your bloodstream. Thereby, it would be possible to contract that STD without having sex, because you can also have blood-blood contact by sharing a razor blade or toothbrush. HIV is somewhat less contagious, so you get that mainly if you use, for example, "dirty needles" with someone else's blood on them to inject drugs and not from a shared toothbrush.
