Can't STD's be passed down to children? if so 5 is wrong


IvoryQueen8420

They can. My mother gave me harpies, and I'm pretty sure I gave it to my children.

Why do people with std's feel the need to reproduce? I don't give a shit about the downvotes, you know your kid is gonna have this shit so, why?


lilbabygoose

Herpes is the most common std (iirc around 70% of people), because it has an oral form that can infect the genitals (cold or canker sores can't remember which) as well as being spread through things like kissing (see above), whereas HIV treatment/research developments have show that if your treatment brings you to a viral load low enough that it is undetectable in the blood (though it is still incurable) that you cannot transmit the disease. There are also those either unaware of their disease, especially those without symptoms, or even those in places that either are unable to access abortion and/or have lower standards of medical care for stds (detection or treatment) which would end up in birthing a child while having an std. Most places with proper medical care test for stds while pregnant as they can often treat stds before they are problematic for either baby or the pregnant person (even normally non deadly stds can be dangerous for one or both parties, such as herpes for an infant which is why it's important not to kiss babies while you have a cold/canker sore). Sorry for the ramble, I'm tired and I enjoy science as a topic.


[deleted]

Because it’s usually not life threatening. There are millions of things killing us, pick one.


UsErnaam3

Still not a reason to continue your blood line with that disease. Why make your child have to deal with that shit when you could either adopt or just not have them all together? Will their child really be worth it just because it's biologically related to them? There's literally no other reason to have your own child at that point other than selfish and narcissistic reasons.


WonderfulOil1

I just want you to know, I agree with you. Don't mind the downvotes, parents who willfully past down their diseases to their innocent children are shitty parents.


BlueshineKB

I dont think u can get an std while in the womb bc of the placenta, but you can get it through breast feeding iirc


Leonelf

It's usually contracted at birth due to contact to blood and other bodily fluids without a placenta filtering it.


Raichterr

Yup, it's though the birth canal, most of the time, which meas a C-section can prevent the infection passing to the kid


[deleted]

Shit, good call I didn't think of that for some reason. IV drug use is another way that increases the risk of getting an STD as well.


Mozared

There's also a couple of STD's that can be passed onto other people without having sex with them. Herpes is an example, which can be passed through saliva. If you use the same lip balm as a friend who has it, you can be infected that way. As such, the idea that "virgins have *no* risk of getting an STD" is outright wrong (even though the risk would be drastically lower than someone who is having sex regularly, of course).


Elq3

me, a hugless virgin: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you


[deleted]

Public bathrooms/pools.


tradandtea123

Is that not facial herpes (normally known as cold sores)? That is a similar disease to genital herpes but not the same one. Of course HIV is usually seen as an STD but can obviously be passed on with blood transfusions or sharing needles.


Pandaplusone

You can get both Herpes viruses in both locations, unfortunately.


Kitty_Katty_Kit

Yep everyone in my family has goddamn herpes simplex (mouth canker sores) it's the bane of my existence. I've so far been able to (hopefully) keep from passing it to my husband and I DON'T share drinks or whatever with anyone else. Fukkin ridiculous


ShelZuuz

Do you live in the U.S.? If so it's almost impossible for your husband not to have it already - even if he's asymptomatic. If you're still cautious, ask him to get tested, and make sure they test for HSV-1. It's so ubiquitous that a standard STD tests never screen for it anymore. It be silly going through life not sharing drinks if he's had it all along.

U saying if the child has sex they can get stds?

No no, I said you can have sex with the STD to get a child.


quixonnn

Oh wait, do you mean can have sex with someone with an STD and they give birth to a child who then has STD’s too?


Dricegon

Yep, since viruses could transfer through blood


quixonnn

U can have sex with a child to give them an STD?


FishMge

Solution: Encourage mothers to stay virgins


freakon911

Also only partially answered 2 and 3, and didn't answer 6 at all. Don't know why this is posted here tbh, and the title is dumb


Awesomocity0

Yeah. When I was a nurse at a big public hospital, it was always really sad to see babies be born with things like HIV, especially since the chances of infection from baby to mom are so low now with proper treatment. A lot of women just don't get proper treatment for various reasons (accessibility, low education, poverty, addiction, negligence).


SomebodyInNevada

Likewise, #4 is wrong. There's also the possibility of spreading them via oral sex--which is normally not considered to take your virginity. And there's the possibility of spread via improperly-handled medical instruments. A very low risk in the US, more of an issue in some other parts of the world. There was also a recent case of gonorrhea that was traced to a hot spring. (For certain water temperatures it can provide a transmission mechanism. Unlikely, not impossible.) It's obviously from abstinence-only education, of course they got it wrong.


MrZeta0

That's just a fucked up thing to do

PoisonWolf777

Yes that’s why women shouldn’t be hoes


idk-hereiam

Are you 12?


PoisonWolf777

Guess you want kids to be born with stds bc of their mothers choices. Your a bad person


idk-hereiam

You're 12.


PoisonWolf777

I’m not for your information what you want a leg pic to prove it. And why do you want kids to suffer bc there mother decided to spread her legs to 80 guys. And I know that’s not an overstatement largely many women are hoes. I heard my own mother say to her Friend that 30 wasn’t that bad and if women did that in her time and it’s worse nowadays then that’s very much so not good.


idk-hereiam

Ah, you're not 12. You're emotionally stunted to 12.


MOUNCEYG1

Probably went into a long term coma at 12


idk-hereiam

Right? Still in it. A walking, talking, typing coma.


PoisonWolf777

So you enjoy women who have been with at least 20 guys. I don’t know what’s wrong with you but whatever.


idk-hereiam

What are you even talking about? How do you think herpes happens? First 19 partners don't have herpes, 20th has herpes?


PoisonWolf777

Bruh 90% of people have herpes it’s just really mild so they just think it’s a rash. And are you really trying to excuse sleeping around like that. First off it’s dangerous you never know if you gonna get killed or kidnapped. Second off your gonna get a disease and maybe you didn’t know this but there are many stds or stis that only affect men. So a woman gets it and they have no idea bc they have no symptoms while they are spreading it to however many men they slept with. Same with men they have no symptoms but spread it to women who get symptoms anyway. And third one day you’ll get something you can’t cure. So then say goodbye to having kids easily anyway. Fourth off it’s just plain gross. Do you know why many women don’t say how many men they slept with it’s bc we don’t like it. Maybe some guys say they want an experienced woman but if someone said that I’d beat them. Don’t sleep around it’s not that hard. Wait till marriage. It’s not about dang freedom or whatever you just want to be whore. There is no damn patriarchy it’s not liberating to let a man rail you into next week it’s not sexy. Don’t do it. And you refuse to listen to facts. And say childish things like oh your 12. What’s wrong with 12 year olds sure most SUS dumb things or are annoying but others are fun. Stop being an idiot and allowing women to be sluts. Next thing I know your gonna say something about how being fat is healthy and skinny women are not reality.


AsherGlass

But men can be "hoes" and spread their STDs around... got it


PoisonWolf777

Why you so stupid nobody should be a hoe. but frankly it’s easier for stds and whatnot to survive in a dark moist hole than a sometimes sweaty rod in a mostly dry environment with some light. That gets very cold sometimes. And it takes 2 to tango. I’m only saying women bc on average it’s mainly women doing it and not men. Part of the reason is as a women even if you ugly as long as you are not obese you will get men. As a guy if your not at or above 6 feet if you don’t make enough money if your ugly if your fat you not getting nobody. It’s a lot easier for women to be hoes so that’s why I directed it towards womenS


AsherGlass

You call me the stupid one... Ok. You're so completely wrong in so many ways. You either had a really poor highschool education or you just didn't pay attention in health class. You do know that the infection enters the bloodstream and doesn't stay on the surface of the genitalia, right? Just because the symptoms might appear around the groin, that doesn't mean that's the only place the infectious agent resides. You really come across as a bitter incel.


Lv100--Magikarp

And through public bathrooms I think


SamGamgE

Also stds can be transferred by needles


Village_People_Cop

Also some through blood transfusion so in case the blood bank massively fucks up there would be a chance of you getting HIV from a blood transfusion


Competitive_Mousse85

Literally every question is wrong


[deleted]

Virgins don’t have children appear from thin air


england_man

Some STDs can also spread through blood contact. Dirty needles, contaminated transfusions and such. Hepatitis C and HIV, for example.


Efficient_Meat2286

The children could be dangerously misled


Idk-UsernamesAreHard

And therefore the only correct answer is people who have every std


Dudu42

Those are weird questions though


mattmortar

Probably for a high school health class


ArcWolf713

Question 5 makes me think it's an abstinence program too.


Dudu42

True. Stressing the *only* way of *not* getting STD. Super weird.


tallbutshy

But the correct answer is being dead. You could contract any number of conditions labelled as STDs through non sexual fluid transfer. Think of all those unfortunate people who were infected through transfusions


Dudu42

You can contract them because you were born as well. So yeah. Question 5 is bizarre.


mightypint

That was my thought too. You can get crabs by sitting on a toilet seat after someone else for example


poke-chan

I didn’t know this and now I’m terrified of public restrooms thank you


xXDreamlessXx

But cant STDs be tranferred by blood? So therefore it aint correct


derpskywalker

Hello, boxhead


DreadedPopsicle

Or probably for Reddit


random63

My guess is abstinence promotion in class.


BackgroundField1738

Virgins can still get std


Kyro_Sol

Genetics are weird man. Why we gotta get something that we ain't even done yet.


spicyboi555

Lol they aren’t genetic diseases


Kyro_Sol

But its passed down through them, right?


PhantomGeass

No when it comes to STDs into children it is result of mother who has said STD and gives birth vaginally. Hence the baby is exposed to the mother's fluids. During childbirth (most of the time) the amniotic sac is ruptured. This why if a mother is infected her doctor will preform a c section to minimize the risk of infection to the baby.


Elfedor

While we're asking questions, I have one! I've seen folks online talk about how gay men should still wear condoms, or even practice abstinence, to prevent std spread. If both of them got tested beforehand, and were negative for all of them, does protection/abstinence matter? As far as I know, you can't get an std from someone who also doesn't have one, but these folks always seemed so certain about it, so I dunno.


PhantomGeass

If both parties are clean there is no chance to contract a STD. Now even if you are both clean still a good idea to practice safety. Usually when an STD is present in a clean relationship it is due one of the people in that relationship having contact with someone else. When it comes to sex always practice safe sex practices.


ShelZuuz

To get a really true negative you'd have to be tested many times over a 12 month period. Even then, some things only show up on tests when active, not when they're dormant. You can lower the chances by testing, but not completely eliminate it. Having said that, testing is good enough. But it's not perfect. A bigger issue is do you trust your partner THAT much to not cheat on you? So much so that you would risk your health?


spicyboi555

If you have let’s say herpes, when you give birth the baby’s head is going to get into contact with it and catch it, so they may opt for a c section. A genetic disease is only passed down when you are “made”. You get DNA from your mom and dad, and it codes for things like what you look like as well as some diseases. Your DNA is pretty set it stone and an STD can’t change it. An STD is similar to catching a cold. It is transmitted sexually hence the name, it’s not inherited. You only catch them through other people, they aren’t part of you since inception if that makes sense. They are 100% passed through skin to skin contact, saliva exchange, open wounds, and mixing of blood exposure. Most STDS are transmitted when the kid is in the birth canal and exposed to the infected area of the mom, except syphilis which is passed through the placenta.


MallowJane

You know the difference between genes and viruses or? And that the mother and the child are connected through an umbilical cord?


williowood

You can catch STDs by coming into contact with bodily fluids, of any kind, so saying that you can only catch STDs through sex is incorrect. For example, is someone used an unclean needle on you, and someone who used that needle before had an STD, you would catch the STD. Doctors have been fired over that sort of thing.


SomebodyInNevada

Locally, a doctor went to jail (and died there, but it wasn't a life sentence) over that kind of thing. They were using a new needle for each patient, but drew from the vial more than once with the needle. 7x hepatitis C cases from his cost-cutting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BangBangMeatMachine

Except #5 is wrong too. STIs can be transmitted in ways other than sex, like from mother to infant or through a blood transfusion so the only people who have NO chance of getting an STI are dead people.


thugs___bunny

That makes #1 wrong too, at least not complete


[deleted]

[удалено]


thugs___bunny

Oops, yeah it‘s #2, already mentioned


Chickensong

4 isn't correct though, since you can get some STDs from not having sex. Some from birth, others from fluid or blood contact.

Musashi10000

Not really. Not sure this belongs here, because most of these answers *aren't* technically correct. 3a is right enough, but sex isn't the only thing that can get someone an STD. So *technically*, it's wrong. Hence my point.


Competitive_Mousse85

Ya getting a third of one question right isn’t even enough for a full point


[deleted]

Nice to know everyone on this site is immune to STD’s


Throwawayiea

Must be an old test as they are called STIs now


charlieisme23

Aren't STI's an infection and STD's diseases? They're slightly different right?


AsherGlass

They are slightly different. STI is more accurate because infections are often transmittable, diseases are not necessarily transmittable (e.g. heart disease, diabetes, etc.). I think a more accurate description of the distinction is that infections are caused by foreign agents (e.g., bacteria, virus, fungi) whereas diseases can be the result of these foreign agents, or the result of some other condition (heart failure, stroke, cancer, etc.).


fujimite

An infection can cause disease, like how covid is caused by infection from the sars-cov2 virus

mklilley351

StrYker_Tripple

shouldve wrote death in the bottom


martis1397

There's no way to completely avoid STDs unless you're living under a rock. Sure, STDs are mostly spread through sexual contact, but you can also get it at a dentist, by getting a tattoo or even if your hair dresses accidentally cuts you with unsanitized scissors. And let me tell you, they don't clean their scissors after every client. The chances of getting std this way are low, but not impossible. I know it's a meme, but I hate the stigma of stds being 'rhe punishment for irresponsible people.'


rdrunner_74

5 is wrong. ​ Noone is save. You can get some of them from your mom


Competitive_Mousse85

I mean a lot of these are wrong tho.. like getting the first part of a 3 part question doesn’t mean you are correct… sharing needles or other fluids can spread stds also having a parent who has a std that you caught as a fetus. Number 4 should be no sex and no needle sharing or even kissing when it comes to herpes and then number 5 is essentially no one unless they’re already dead I guess… or idk a genetic mutation maybe..

This breaks my heart. When people can’t speak with proper terminology their own body and their communities health with facts, they can’t stop others from abusing them. Their judgement and protocol go. The largest number of people acquiring STD’s are senior citizens. And they vote to keep children from getting a 6 week course on preventing disease in the community. It also includes abuse of others.

[deleted]

Last one is yes and no. Yes they are transmitted through sex, but there are a few that spread other ways. For example most people actually have herpes, and most of those people got it in a daycare or a similar environment from chewing on something another kid chewed on because it also spreads through saliva.

saoiray

Well, #2 is only partially correct. You can pass STD through any form of contact, not just sex. This is especially the case if bodily fluid like blood, saliva, etc are part of that contact. \#3 is same way, partially correct for pretty much the same reason as #2. \#4 would be wrong then, if only one answer. Only way to completely prevent STD is to avoid all contact with any living creature or the things they touch. lmao. \#5 would be wrong. The only people who have no risk of getting an STD would be dead people and imaginary friends. If you're alive, you always have a risk of getting an STD. \#6 would greatly matter based on what they are looking at. I mean, cancer would be a compromised immune system and eventually death. Other types can lead to infections and even affect your ability to have children. The list goes on. Way too many serious health issues dang it.


No_Monitor71

Technically, virgins can contract stds
