Is Scars All Over The Legs Sign Of STD Or HIV?

this new girl i just started to see has scars all over her legs like someone abused her, but she insists it was from a bad habit she had when she was young. What could she have done to do this or is she covering up from her father/mother? A buddy from the gym said becareful because this could of been caused by Aids or hep? Is that true? Thanks for your time
