I recently started looking up the STD crabs best known as pubic lice, well my room mate and I were wondering can we get crabs even though we shave? How can we know if we have it or not?

If you shave your pubic area completely you can’t get pubic lice. Itching is a symptom of having pubic lice. You can also see the lice if you have them.
