Abstract:
Sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted through nonsexual transmission. Neonatal contamination has been proven at parturition from mothers with anogenital diseases. Another example is transmission through exchange of underwear, towels, bed sharing, etc. It is possible that contamination may occur with use of the contaminated speculum and forceps. Use of laser may release viruses during treatment for viral diseases. Candidiasis, trichomoniasis and genitalis condilomatosis, which should not be considered an exclusively sexually transmitted diseases are considered.
