Detailed Answer:
Hi Zeenisgul,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
As you have not involved in any sexual activity with another partner, the possibility of getting a sexually transmitted disease is not there.

However some diseases can be passed on by sharing personal items and after using dirty public toilets. So sharing of personal things like clothes, towels, inner clothes, personal grooming equipment should be avoided. Also make sure that the public toilets you visit are clean.

Sexually transmitted diseases can also be transmitted by deep kissing and sexual activity like oral sex. It is also spread by sharing needles in those who participate in IV drug abuse and by sharing sex toys used by anyone else. Please stay away from such activities with potential health hazard.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
