Can you get STDs without having sex?

I will ask my Dr 24 Jan, took an apt. My cousin is his receptionist. I keep scratching and the more I scratch the more it scratches. Taking a shower didn’t help. Idk maybe there is dark skin patches.

Herpes (cold sores) can be contagious via saliva. But most std’s require some form of oral or physical sexual contact

I didn’t kiss anyone except my gf back in 2013-2014.

Did you share food after someone bit into it

Maybe I touched an infected object?

This will work for dry skin in the groin area…

Highly unlikely that you would get an std from touching an object.

You don’t have an STD.

I get itchy too when I don’t shower enough.

It could be an infection but I highly doubt it’s an STD.

Could also be just a heat rash, as you state you spend a lot of time in bed.

Yea it could be a rash or maybe a medication, I think I take too much Vit D. I recently started taking a Turmeric supplement for high cholesterol/triglycerides, maybe its an allergy.

You might have a fungal infection. Go get it checked out, and it never hurts to have an STD screening done, but try not to be overly concerned. HPV and herpes can sometimes be present with no symptoms for years, until you get a first flare up.

If I wash down there with soap I get itchy. Maybe use baby wipes. I mean I’m not a dude but …
