Can STDs Be Transmitted Genetically?

No, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) cannot be genetically transmitted from parents to children. STDs are caused by viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections, so they can only spread through sexual or close skin-to-skin contact.¹ However, there are some STDs that can be transmitted from mother to baby.^2,3 Therefore, it’s crucial to practice safe sex and get tested regularly for STDs to minimize the risk of transmission and detect any infection early.

If you’re worried that you or your partner may have contracted STDs, it’s important to consult a doctor for early diagnosis and timely treatment. Nevertheless, if you’re hesitant, we recommend starting with LifeCell’s at-home STD Test kit. Our test kit is simple and easy to use, that allows you to test for multiple STDs at once!
