Suggest Modes Of STD Transmission

Umm... hello. This may seem like a dumb question, but I'm a teenager and the internet can be scary at times. I'm a virgin, and I'm kind of afraid of all those STD's out there, and I heard you can still get STD's even if there is no physical contact, like on a toilet seat or something. I just want to know if that's true.
