    Wrong answer. Louses can actually be caught on a toilet seat in a public place facility, or in a hotel bed. That is partly why it is recommended when using public facilities to cover the seat with toilet paper before sitting on it.

    Furthermore as to other STD's, genital and oral herpes (types I and II) can be transmitted by oral sex or mere saliva contact. Studies are being made to determine whether swallowed semen or even pre-semen could transmit the HIV virus (which causes AIDS). But I think they already proven that it did...

    Actually, it was a question, which is what this place is all about. And it wasn't a wrong question.

    Hi Warped

    OK, you're feeling a bit confused. If you go into the sexual health section, each individual STI page should tell you how each disease can be passed on, so it may help if you just check the small print: http://www.thesite.org/sex/sexual_health/

    STIs are either viruses, bacteria or lice. They can't just 'develop' in you, a person has to be infected. A virgin can be infected with HIV or Hepatitis B or C if they have been injecting drugs with dirty needles, but may then pass it on to someone else later through unprotected sex, for example.

    If you're still confused, call Brook Advisory for a confidential chat. Better safe than sorry. http://www.thesite.org/sex/national_helplines.html
