Can you get std's without sex?

hi to you all, im new (my first post)
Can you get a std or sdi without having sex? ive read you cant and that they can only be caught after having unprotected sex (or failure of condom ect) but then if this is so how did the diseases arrive i mean someone had to have it in the beginning otherwise how did it spread if it wasnt there? Also i am a bit worried as im a virgin at 15, male and ive never had any kind of sex besides kissing, i always wanted to wait till i meet the right person, anyway i think i might have an std is that possible?
plz give advice
I seem to have yellow like spots (some with sum black tips), there not painful at all but in certain areas there seem to be loads and ive had them for years. i know i should see a doctor but im too scared and dont want my parents to know.
thanx

    Hi MS

    OK, you are extremely unlikely to have a sexually transmitted disease. We had a question like this a couple of days ago, so I'm just going to refer you to that thread, here's the link: http://www.thesite.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001308.html

    If you are worried about the spots, by all means see your family doctor, they won't be an STI.

    Have you been to the place yet? If so tell us what they said please because what you described sounds similar to what a friend had

    byny, give him a break. He's young, scared and confused. We've all been in that position at one time or another. He's taken the brave step of asking for the help that he needs, and it's not right that you have ridiculed him.
