Question: STD Question!! please help.?
So I have a question on STDs
If a person was born with somekind of STD because there mom had it, but you don't get checked for or anything like that, would you know if you had it like whould there be symtoms or anything like that???
But if you don't have any STDs and haven't had sex either, would you still need to get a pep test done??
Thank you

Answers:
It's really only possible to be born with HIV or syphilis, and if you were, you wouldn't need to worry about testing. Syphilis would have made you a very ill child and you'd have been treated. With HIV, you'd also be aware of it and be in treatment.
A Pap test isn't an STD test-- it's a test for abnormal cells in the cervix.
First what kind of STD do you think someone can be born with and a PAP test is to determine cell changes in the cervix not to test for STDS. You need to do some research.
