Question
I am a 17-year-old female, and I had oral sex with another female recently. We also used sex toys. Now I am itching and burning inside my vagina. Is this normal? Can you get an STD from another female?
Answer
Yes, you can get STDs from a woman if she has one. STD transmission is through sharing body fluids. Please go to the doctor and find out what is up. It could be something other than an STD. Good luck!
