Is lyme disease an std?

No. Lyme disease is a tick-borne infectious disease.While it may be possible to get Lyme disease through sexual intercourse with an infected person, there is still research being done to prove or disprove this theory.It is not, however, a sexually transmitted disease.Some say Lyme Disease can not be sexually transmitted and that Lyme Disease is transmitted through a tick that is infected with it. However, research has proven that the lyme bacterium can be transmitted through any biting insect not just ticks. Also one of the lyme bacterium is a spirochete (Borrelia Berdorfi). A well known sexually transmitted disease is syphilis which is a spirochete.Till further studies prove this wrong I would assume that Lyme can be transmitted through the sharing of body fluids.
