How We Know Lyme Disease is Sexually Transmitted. The Lyme infection, borrelia, can be sexually transmitted. However we do not know the actual rate or chance of transmission.

STDs are sexually transmitted diseases. This means they are most often -- but not exclusively -- spread by sexual intercourse. HIV, chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, some forms of hepatitis, syphilis, and trichomoniasis are STDs. STDs used to be called venereal diseases or VD.
