STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) can be contracted through means other than sexual intercourse. Sharing needles, breastfeeding, childbirth, and using contaminated personal items like razors or towels can also transmit infections. Some STDs, such as herpes or HPV (Human Papillomavirus), can be spread through skin-to-skin contact. It's important to consider these factors if you've been diagnosed with an STD without having been unfaithful.
