Answers:
The situation you describe is an unlikely one, but it is possible!.
There are certain STD's, HIV among them, that can be transmitted during birth or through breast milk!.
Always use a condom until you are married!.
Condoms marginally protect you from STD's and also can aid in preventing pregnancy!. If you aren't married and capable of taking care of a child you have no right risking bringing one into the world!.

A couple of other things!. People lie, especially about things they are embarrassed about or wish were different!. Just because someone says they are a virgin doesn't mean they are!. Likewise, just because a girl says she is on the pill, doesn't mean that she is or that she is good about taking them on time, or that she isn't a little nuts and trying to trap you in a pregnancy and only pretending to take them!.
The point is, you can never be too careful!.
People lie about STD's all the time!. An estimated 1 in 4 Americans has herpes, but in 15 years of dating I've never heard anyone own up to having it!. I'm not foolish enough to think I haven't been exposed to it!. The numbers tell me I must have been, but I have been consistent in using protection, and thankfully seem to have dodged the bullet!.

The point is you can never be too careful when it comes to safeguarding yourself and your future!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

getting tested is the only way a person can know if their infected so its not wise to have unprotected sex whether you are a virgin or not!. yes it is very possible to be born with a sexually transmitted disease!. aids is passed from mother to child if precautions are not taken!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You know you can get STDs from more places then just being born with them or from sex!. You can get STDs from fooling around and from kissing!. Almost anything you can get down there you can get in your mouth too!. Mothers Affected by AIDs can pass it down through breast feeding!. Babies get Gonorrhea in their eyes and go blind!. That's why babies get drops in their eyes when their delivered!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's very possible to be born with an STD such as HIV, passed down from mother to infant since they share the same blood supply!. However, it also depends on when the person was born (pre-1983 you can pretty much rule this out!.) I know in the 90s & beyond, HIV testing for pregnant mothers was pretty standard, so I wouldn't worry about it unless the mother had inadequate care!.

If you are freaking out because you had sex with someone and don't know their status, get yourself tested!. Anyone can lie and say they're a virgin!. If you're experiencing issues, see a physician!. And protect yourself next time!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that can be passed on to babies [there may be others]!. If you and your girlfriend had sex and got a baby [name him: Marcel if it's a boy and Francine when it's a girl] but neither of you had a sexually transmitted disease, your baby would not have a sexually transmitted disease either!.

Sex is not a disease!. It is intended to lead to babies!. Healthy parents having sex [barring genetic problems] do not lead to children with sexually transmitted diseases, it would not be a good thing if it happened to be the case!.

Your question bespeaks ignorance about basic concepts of human life!. This is the kind of ignorance that is dangerous and can lead to poor life choices!.
Educate yourself or insist that you be educated properly!. Don't be shy about sex, know how it works and practice it in a wholesome and thoroughly enjoyable way!. If you happen to have a holy book slouching about the house that says you should be ashamed about it, ask yourself why the supreme being would have taken the trouble of making all these wonderful body parts that feel so good if he did not intend for you to use them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

STD's can be transfered from the mother to the baby DURING childbirth!.
However, STDs that are picked up like that are usually very apparent in the child because they do much more damage than they would in adults!.

Also, conditions like Hepatitis B and -C can be picked up by various other methods (eg!. needle sharing in drug addicts)!.
Therefore, not having had sex before is NOT a guarantee that you won't pass on an infection to the other person!.

A lot of sexually transmitted diseases do not need actual penetration, just contact!.

Finally, even if someone really loves you they might not be honest about previous sexual experiences because they are afraid of rejection!. If you DO pick up an STD after first-time sex then there is a greater than 99% chance that the other person HAS HAD sex before, regardless of the other possibilities mentioned above!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, you can be born with an std or hiv, only if your mom has it, other than that if you have never had sex then you have nothing and you are safeWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes if your born to an infected mother this is true with mother who are HIV positive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. HPV can be passed from the mother to a child!. HIV can also be passed from mother to a child, but 2 people who have never had sex can't pass it from one to the other!. Both examples of the above are rare but it is certainly possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yea if you smear your willy with aids!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, STD's are transmitted through sex not through birth!. I doubt anyone is born with them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
