Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats, doorknobs, shared drinks or pools? How long can HIV live outside the human body, or it's host?

STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a barrier to germs. STDs need unclothed, genital skin-to-skin contact or penetration to transmit.

Discharge may not be normal, and could mean an infection or an STD, especially with burning, pain, itching or urinary frequency.

The CDC recommends that everyone test at least once, and you should test more often if you have multiple sex partners or use needles for drug use.

Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging, touching, sharing drinks or kissing? How DO you get HIV?

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging. Some infections can be considered STDs, but are also transmitted non-sexually.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is medication that people who are at risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may take to prevent infection.

Genital herpes can spread through direct, unclothed, skin-to-skin contact, including oral, vagin*l and anal sex.

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is short-term antiretroviral medication that may help prevent HIV infection if taken shortly after exposure.

Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex. Condoms greatly reduce the chances of transmission, but do not eliminate them.
