The viruses that cause a sexually transmitted disease are in bodily fluids, such as blood, vaginal fluid and semen.
They can also be spread through contact with infected skin or mucous membranes, such as sores in the mouth.
You may be exposed to infected body fluids and skin through vaginal, anal or oral sex. Anal sex is very risky because it usually causes bleeding. Sharing needles or syringes for drug use, ear piercing, tattooing, etc. can also expose you to infected fluids.
Most STIs are only spread through direct sexual contact with an infected person.
