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.
