Sexually transmitted diseases like Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, herpes, and HIV can be shared not only through sexual activity, but also during pregnancy, through IV needle sharing, skin-to-skin contact, or breastfeeding.
Any kind of sexual activity can potentially transmit STDs from person to person. Although diseases such as HIV, Gonorrhea, Syphilis and Chlamydia are spread through body fluids, Herpes and other STDs are spread through skin-to-skin contact. Condoms can decrease the risk of exposure, but they are not guaranteed to prevent the contraction of a STD.
Many STD cases exhibit negligible signs and symptoms. STD testing offers the only proven way for King County residents to determine their STD health status.
