Will a person get STD/ chlamydia even if he/she is not sexually active?


Let's say a person satisfies their sexual cravings only through mastubation. Does that person also have the risk of getting STD's like chlamydia? Thanks.

some babies have STD when their mother gives birth naturally to them (if she has some too). that's why, every baby receives antibiotics eye drops at birth, to eliminate chlamydia and gonorrhoea. HIV can also be mother-child transmitted by the exchange of blood during pregnancy.

Oral and anal contact with someone who's got a STD can cause you to get one in the throat or in the anus.

otherwise, no, there is no risk of getting an STD. most bacterias and viruses causing STDs are very sensible to the outside environment. HIV virus and neisseria gonorrhoea doesn't survive more than 5 minutes to dessication (ex: on a toilet seat) and even if there would be, your genitals would have to come in direct contact with the previous person's secretions (which doesn't normally get there when you go to the toilet anyway)

well, hope this answers your questions Source(s): i work in a microbiology lab, and back in school we had to know these kind of things.
Absolutely not! You must have intimate contact with an infected person to get an std!
STD stands for sexually transmitted disease. You have to actually have intercourse or oral sex to get the disease.
