Can Pinworms be sexually transmitted? I have had them for over 7 months now and only recently read up on them and found out what they were. It seems most sites say they are common in children 12 yeas old or younger. I don't know how I got them and thought maybe someone knew...?

And more importantly how do I get rid of them???

Thank you.

Well it wouldn't seem so. They look like they are transferred through fecal contamination. I'd still suggest a condom.

There is probably a medicinal pesticide you have to ingest to kill the worms in your .g.i tract. You can only get this from a doctor.
