It is possible. While a Sexually Transmitted Disease, or STD, is typically transmitted sexually, there are other ways to transmit diseases which fall into the STD category. While a disease might be classified as an "STD", sexual intercourse is only the primary vector for catching the disease, but not the only one. For example, a blood transfusion, or sharing of hypodermic needles, may cause someone to obtain an STD, even if they have had no sexual contact. These methods are not the primary way that those STDs are obtained, so they are still classified as STDs. In addition, STDs like HIV can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy or from breastfeeding. Contrastingly, meningitis can be caught through sexual contact. However, meningitis is notclassified as an STD, because meningitis is not typicallycontracted sexually. While it may not seem romantic at the time, it is often better for both partners to get screened before any sexual contact, especially if there is any doubt.
