Can these diseases be sexually transmitted?


My girlfriend has several health concerns. One is anemia, another is a blood disease...I think she said it was something like MTHFR or something...I know she said that it's a blood disease where if she takes birth control that it might cause a blood clot...and another disease (my poor girlfriend is in rough shape) in which she has cysts in her uterus which make it hard or impossible for her to ever get pregnant. We want to have sex but I am just curious, are any of these diseases contagious to me if we were to have unprotected sex sometime?

What's a way that I can teach kids about Sexually Transmitted Diseases?


Ok, so I work with teen & tweens, and I was trying to figure out what to do as a fun little educational activity about safe sex & std's.. Does any have any ideas for workshops? Thank you all for your time!
----------

ok this may be hard to explain but ill do my best
its an activity we did in health class and was actually pretty fun
everyone in the class got a small cup of water in a dixie cup
then you swap water with 10 different people in the class
ex. id pour half of my water into my friends cup..then they'd pour half in mine
then after we did that to 10 people..our teacher poured a drop of this pink liquid into our cup..if our cup turned pink that represented that we had the STD

*****k so heres the thing..out of the 20 cups...1 started with the "std" [std was a weird chemical..sry idk wut it was]
[when you tell the kids to pick cups dont tell them anything about the turnout of the activity..only tell them to swap with 10 ppl and then do the rest written below]
k pretend bob grabbed the cup with the "std"
..then he swapped with sally..sally would instantly become infected with the ''std''..then sally swaps with molly and now molly has it
[the swapping of the water represented having sex and how easily that even if the person ur having sex with doesnt have a std..he could have one from a past person he had sex with and how quickly u can become infected


if u get the activity and wht im saying..its actually a really fun activity and helps people understand and to choose abstinence!!  (+ info)
