If I am diagnosed to have STDs, should my partner be treated as well if he / she does not have any symptoms? |
Once an infection is detected, it is important that sexual partners are tested as well, even if they do not have any symptoms. If only one partner is treated, the chance for re-infection is high, since a large percentage of the population is asymptomatic. |

Can STD be transmitted through kisses? |
A few STDs can be transmitted through kisses, but not many. Herpes of the mouth, also called oral herpes or cold sores can be transmitted through kissing. Herpes does not need an exchange of saliva, only skin-to-skin contact or closed-mouth kissing would suffice. |
