STD-causing organisms can also spread by non-sexual means, for example, blood product transfusions and tissue transplants. Many STDs, especially chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, HIV, HPV, HSV-2 and syphilis, can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and childbirth.A person may have an STD without showing symptoms of illness.
