Yes. Women who are pregnant can get the same sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) as women who are not pregnant. The affects of STDs can be more serious for a woman and her baby if the woman becomes infected with an STD while pregnant. STDs can be passed from a pregnant woman to the baby before, during or after the baby’s birth. Pregnant women should ask their doctors about getting tested for STDs. For more information contact the Oklahoma State Department of Health HIV/STD Service at (405) 271-4636.
