5. Who is likely to get it
Although it isn’t strictly categorized as an STD, sexually active teens and adults are at risk of getting Molluscum Contagiosum from close contact in these areas. It can be sometimes be misdiagnosed as another more commonly understood STD, such as herpes or genital warts, causing undue stress and even unnecessary treatment. Skin to skin is the causal factor, not just sexual contact, but all skin to skin.
Nevertheless, in terms of recognizing the signs, the appearance of the previously mentioned symptoms in the region of the genitals can be a really good piece of evidence in establishing the presence of Molluscum Contagiosum.
As with many other sexually transmitted diseases and skin infections, wearing a condom will not prevent a person from becoming infected, given that this is a condition passed on via skin to skin contact, as opposed to the swapping of bodily fluids such as semen or vaginal secretions.
