A female or male for that reason can get an std from having unprotected sex
Women generally get STDs through sexual intercourse.

However, many STDs can also be spread through other means, and their spread is not limited to sexual contact. For example, the common cold can be spread through sex but also can spread through airborne contact.

Other methods include:

Skin to Skin Contact

Blood Transfusions

Airborne transfer

Transfer through other fluids, eg saliva.
Women get STDs usually from having sex with an infected partner.

Women get herpes by coming in contact with an infected partner.
Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease. It is a virus and is easily transmitted by sexual contact and oral sex. The cold sore you get on your lip is herpes simplex and that can be given to another person by kissing, oral sex, and sharing lip balms/lipstick.

Females contract HPV (human papillomavirus) through vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Any type of unprotected genital-to-genital contact between a female and an hpv-infectecd male or female puts you at risk for contracting HPV. Many types of HPV cause no signs or symptoms (in both men and women), so you cannot tell from looking at someone's genital area if they are infected with the virus or not.
HPV is passed on through genital contact-most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex. Since HPV usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV-and pass it on-without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.

People get chlamydia from oral, anal, or vaginal sex; from sharing sex toys; from genital-genital contact; or from being born to a woman with chlamyda. Any person who thinks they have this disease should consult their doctor or a sexually transmitted disease (STD) specialist clinic and have the disease screened for and treated without delay or more serious health problems can ensue.
