Is An STI Possible With A Monogamous Relationship?

Both me and my boyfriend have never had sex with anyone else other than each other. Is it possible to get an STI? He isn’t having sex with someone else and neither am I however I went to the doctors for something and I was told it could be an STI. Is that possible?

hello,
i can understand your concern. There is practically no chance of contracting a sexually transmitted infection from some one without that person having an sti. this need not be a vaginal sex, if some one has an oral herpes, he/she could spread it the other persons private parts.
Since your doctor has suggested that it could be an sti, kindly get it tested to confirm.
If it tests positive, it can be due to a prior contact which might not be vaginal sex but other forms of sexual contact like oral sex too.

hope this helps.
