Question: can someone carry STI but not suffer from them ???


Answers: can someone carry STI but not suffer from them ???

Yes, if the mother is infected there is a chance the STI can be trasmitted to the fetus either through the placenta, breast milk or by direct contact during birth. Many people are asymptomatic (no symptoms) and may not know they are carriers. When a baby is born they usually do tests to detect any abnormalities such as an STI, but it is possible to be born with it.

i dont think so, look it up on google?

No. Well I dont think so in very rare cases it can be passed down gentically, I think.

yes you can and you might suffer from it.

Yes, you can be born with some STIs. Some people can also carry some STIs and not show any symptoms. HIV is one of these.

Also, HPV is one that males can carry but never actually 'have'

they show no symptoms for it, only pass it on to women the come in 'contact' with. Unfortunately, it sometimes causes cancer in them, but that is the only effect.

yes you can , if your mother has AIDS or something , then gives birth to you , you'd have it too

Babies can be born with specific sexually transmitted diseases. Syphillis, genial warts, and HIV can all be passed on to the baby during birth from their mother. Anyone infected with a sexually transmitted disease can display no symptoms. That is why it is most important to get tested.

u mean STD and yes u can if ur mom had it or dad thats the only way for example if ur mom or dad didnt have a pencil then u cant have one same thing with STD'd u can only get it from somebody that all ready has it
