Can I get an STI if my partner and I did not have sex?

You can still contract an STI even without engaging in full sexual intercourse. While having unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex increases the risk of catching or spreading an STI, it is important to remember that some infections can also spread through other ways.

The Herpes Simplex Virus, Syphilis, and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can all spread through skin-to-skin contact, like touching a sore, wart, or skin blemish. Often, these areas are not covered by a condom, and skin contact can happen during foreplay.

Other STIs like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C can spread through blood-to-blood contact. This includes contact with wounds, needle stick injuries, using unsterilized equipment, or sharing needles.

If you are worried about a sexual encounter in Congleton, whether protection was used or not, getting tested for STIs is a good step. You can speak with one of our friendly advisors online or book an appointment easily online today.
