    Quite possibly; certain STDs.

    Use a straw?

    Have them use a straw?

    Then don't share straws?

    No you can't get an STD from drinking out of the same cup. An STD (sexually transmitted disease) has to be transmitted via sexual intercourse.

    No, unless their STD is herpes because you could get a cold sore. But STD means Sexually Transmitted Disease, so to get one you actually have to have sex.

    properly, dunno in the event that they might bypass as much as now as kidnapping somebody i advise, with a bit of luck they are no longer stupid and do something like that because of fact it would be fairly common for the police to hint them down. what the people here write is they bypass and locate donors which only makes me think of, do they only walk right into a well being midsection and say "am i able to have some blood?" or do they detect a donor on the streets and ask them a similar question. for the checklist, vampires are no longer "like" people, they are precisely like them, because of fact they are people. people with some sort of restoration for eating blood, which in case you think of roughly it, why blood? what does blood has that they cant get from different factors? vampirism is only yet another weird and wonderful faith, i locate it unusual it began a splash after the launch of twilight and that i understand a super number of you will say "i dont watch twilight" properly i believe you(<==epic sarcasm). -------EDIT------- Zane and azaria, i checked your web content, i went empty surpassed, i got here out empty surpassed, all i stumbled on became into greater "believe becuase we mentioned so". no evidence in any respect.

    it depends on which but fo the most part no. i take it you skipped health. STDS (now STI's) are a blood to blood/ sex transmitted infection the sores like herpes or genital warts are skin but that's cause they have a fluid they leak. stuff like HIV/Aids is solely through blood/ through sexual fluids. so unless they had a cut/sore in their mouth no not really unless they had genital warts in their mouth or herpes

    You can also get aids by swimming in infected pools, which is an often overlooked fact.

    no. STD's can only be spread through sex. that's why they are called Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
