Can urine and saliva transmit an STI?

24-year-old woman3 years ago
I know that semen, vaginal secretions and pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain and transmit STI. Is urine one of the biological fluids that can contain and transmit STIs? What about saliva?

Hello, thank you for your question.
Transmitting an STI through saliva and/or urine is very unlikely, if not nearly impossible. However, mononucleosis (which is not an STBBI though), as well as other types of infections, can be transmitted through saliva.
Hopefully, I have helped you, and I remain available if you have any further questions!

Thank you for your answer!
So it's almost impossible to have an itss on the toilet unless you ''scrub'' on the toilet and there is secretions or urine? And what about the pool. Can we get anything that way?

It is impossible to become infected with an STBBI through the toilet bowl, or on any other surface, including the pool.
Other infections can result from this, but are not considered STBBIs (Ex: fungal infection on the skin, mononucleosis with contact with saliva, to name a few).
Cordially
