Is it possible to have an STD and not give it to your partner?

Not necessarily. Many STDs can stay hidden with no symptoms for years. So, while your partner may have given it to you, he or she may have had it before they were with you. The most important thing is for both of you to get tested and treated at the same time so you don’t re-infect each other.
