Prevalence & Medical Realities in the United States
STI transmission between women is often misunderstood and under-discussed in mainstream healthcare, leaving many queer women feeling isolated after diagnosis.
Female-to-female transmission of herpes and HPV occurs through skin-to-skin contact, sharing intimate items, or oral intimacy. Barrier methods, dental dams, antiviral suppressive therapy, and clear communication protect partners effectively, allowing queer women to enjoy healthy, deeply satisfying physical relationships.
