IMO, any infection that can be fluid or blood exchanged is also something to consider with intimacy.

But, I would like to see the STD or STI stigma labeled dropped and just everyone now that exchange of bodily fluids can carry various microbes. Also more educations about bleeding gums and high that raises the chances of sharing.

Bartonella is absolutely able to pass in utero, too. I'm sure there are others. Good point bohomojo (love your name!).

A couple weeks ago, there was a news report of a "newly" discovered mycoplasma that can be acquired with intimacy. Nothing new, there, IMO, and likely not at all the only mycoplasma that can be shared.

asked my LLMD about the fetus getting lyme and co from the mother last week. My wife is a few weeks pregnant with our second child.

He said that the baby "should be protected" in what he knows about it but that there is also some gray area, and to keep a watchful eye.
