Public lice can be caught from any close contact or though sharing towels.
If you share sex toys then this poses some risk and using condoms is recommended. If you are female and rub your pussy on another girl's pussy (I forget what the technical name for this is) then this poses some risk although it is fairly small.
vaginal or anal sex with an infected partner
oral sex, although this is less common
sharing sex toys
Pubic lice are easily passed on through sexual contact, or through close physical contact:
they crawl from hair to hair; they don't fly or jump
the eggs of the lice can survive away from the body for up to 24 hours, so it's possible for them to be passed on by sharing clothes, bedding or towels
pubic lice are different to head lice.
HIV/Aids:
HIV can only be passed on through the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk. The two main ways in which a person can become infected are:
vaginal or anal sexual intercourse (without a condom) with an infected person
using a needle or syringe that's already been used by someone who's infected
I think that covers all of them.
person A is not infected. Has only had 1 unprotected sexual relationship
person B thinks they are infected, has only had 1 unprotected sexual relationship.
is it possible that an STI possesing possible symptoms of gonorrhoea or Chlamydia (or anything that are alike) could be contracted any other way, or could be a non-sexual transmited infection?
Thrush can be mistaken for an STI (and STI's can be mistaken for thrush) depending on what symptons you are referring to.

It can also be passed from a mother to her baby at birth.
You can't catch chlamydia from kissing, hugging, sharing baths, towels, cups, plates, cutlery, or from toilet seats or swimming pools.
Gonorrhoea is infectious and easily passed on through:
vaginal, oral or anal sex
close physical contact
sharing sex toys
from a mother to her baby at birth
It can also be passed from the genitals to the eyes by the fingers.

Mmm thursh has some similar symptons, best advice would for Bto go to the doctors or a gum clinic.
