What kinds of sexually transmitted diseases and infections can lesbians contract thru sexual activity?

What kinds of sexually transmitted diseases and infections can lesbians contract thru sexual activity?I am a lesbian and want to know...

sexual activities include: oral, fingering, scissoring (tribadism), strap-on sex, sex with toys.

Oh and if you know anything about how to protect from those STDs and STIs, that information would be great too! Thanks :)

[ as far as i know hep c and aids have no recorded cases of being sexually transmitted ,female to female]prevention like hetero ,use condoms, and dental dams.remembering to change the each time you change turns.

Any activity that exchanges bodily fluids, can transmit most sexual diseases. Put a condom on the toys, and change it everytime you use it on somebody else. Limit your partners to as few as you can.

I would say any that you can get through hetero sex. If you're dirty you're dirty. And fyi, fingering can put all kinds of bacteria in that area so that should be a no no.

And as far as protection, make sure those things are clean. I'm no lesbian but I know for sure that germs & bacteria in that area can be ruthless. I hope that helped.

Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Health
STDs among lesbian and bisexual women


Can women give other women STDs? Yes.

There is a misconception among health care providers and women themselves that lesbian and bisexual women have little or no risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STD). This myth is fueled by the lack of reliable studies of STD transmission in these communities.

In fact, the risk of STD transmission between women varies significantly depending on the STD. Herpes, HPV (genital wart virus), and bacterial vaginosis are transmitted fairly easily between women during sex. HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, and chlamydia are much less likely to be transmitted--the risk is low but it is still possible.

The majority of lesbian and bisexual women have (or have had) sex with men, and all STDs are easily transmitted from men to women during intercourse. Often STD do not have symptoms, so it is possible for a woman to have become infected years ago and to still harbor the infection.

It is important that you share your particular sexual history with a GLBT-friendly health care provider who can advise you of the appropriate STD screening tests for you. All women, including lesbian and bisexual women, need to receive regular Pap tests.

HIV

Often people worry more about HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) than about any other STD. HIV is transmitted when infected sexual fluids or blood enter another person's bloodstream.

There are little research specifically concerning woman-to-woman transmission of HIV. It has been documented in several studies that women who have had sex only with other women, and have not used intravenous drugs, are at low risk for HIV. Although there are case reports of woman-to-woman transmission through oral sex or shared sex toys, this is an uncommon transmission route. The risk of exposure to HIV in menstrual blood is not known, but could provide another means of transmission between women.

Women who have had sexual contact with men, which includes the majority of women who identify as lesbian, have a higher risk for HIV. Women who have had unprotected sex with gay or bisexual men, or men who have injected drugs, are at an especially high risk.

Herpes and HPV

Genital herpes and the human papillomavirus (HPV) are more likely to be transmitted between women than HIV is because they can be transmitted by skin-to-skin, genital-to-genital, or mouth-to-genital contact.

In addition, because these viruses are not curable and stay in the body, a woman could acquire herpes or HPV from a male partner and later pass it on to a female partner. Case studies and recent research support this possibility. As HPV can lead to cervical cancer, lesbians and bisexual women need Pap tests on a regular basis, just as heterosexual women do.
