It is transmitted through skin to skin contact. Many people carry it on their skin, so physical contact with another person can spread it. It is a common infection though, and it can come from many sources, not just someone with whom you have been intimate.

I wouldnt say its related to a sexually transmitted disease, but staph is on the the organisms that is naturally occuring bacteria on our skin all the time. If you had sex and it was on you or your partners skin, it is possible for the bacteria to cause an infection during sexual intercourse. Expecially if you had kind of "rough" sex and may have made yourself raw. I can see that happening. The vagina is not sterile so there are jerms there. Our body keeps this natural bacteria (flora) to fight off other forms of infection, sometimes thats why we get infections.

Staphylococcus aureus ("staph") are common bacteria that normally live on the skin. The bacteria also live harmlessly in the nasal passages of roughly 30% of the U.S. population. Staph can cause infection when they enter the skin through a cut or sore. Infection can also occur when the bacteria move inside of the body through a catheter or breathing tube. The infection can be minor and local (for example, a pimple), or more serious.
Staphylococcus aureus has no connection with STDs. But if you have taken antibiotics for some other treatments(including STDs), the staphylococcus aureus already present in your body might have gained drug resistance.
Please note that I am not a medical professional.
Please see the web pages for more details on MRSA infection and STDs.
