Can I get an STI if my partner and I did not have sex?
You can still get an STI even if you do not have full sexual intercourse. While having unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex will put you at higher risk of contracting or spreading an STI, some infections can also be spread in other ways.
The Herpes Simplex Virus, Syphilis, and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can spread through skin-to-skin contact, such as coming into contact with a sore, wart, or skin blemish. Other STIs, like HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, can be spread through any blood-to-blood contact. This includes needle stick injuries, using unsterilised equipment, or sharing needles.
If you are concerned about a sexual encounter, whether or not you used protection, you should get an STI test. You can use our online chat to speak to one of our advisors or book online now.

When you or your partner is pregnant in Howrah, it is one of the most important times for a woman not to get an STI. Having an STI while you are pregnant can cause serious damage to your unborn baby. You should always follow the advice of your Howrah doctor and midwife when you are pregnant, but if you are worried you should test for:
HIV
Herpes (if you have never had herpes before)
Chlamydia

STIs can be passed on to your baby before or during the birth. Most transmissions (passing on to your baby) can be prevented (including HIV) but your midwife needs to know that you have an STI to be able to stop the baby becoming unwell.
