Question
I have been having sex with my partner for about 2 months now without protection. is it possible that he has an STD and not passed it on to me or does it always pass on the first time?
Answer
Each disease or infection has a different transmission rate - some diseases are given much easier than others. It is completely possible that you just got something he has had for quite a while. Get yourself tested!
