It is 100% true that whether you are young or old, male or female, if you are sexually active then you could transmit STI or sexually transmitted infections from one to another.

Each year, there are estimated 374 million new infections with 1 out of 4 curable STIs. This was according to WHO. The global health agency has brought to light that every year HPV or human papillomavirus causes more than 311000 cervical based cancer deaths. It is noteoworthy that STI get transmitted from one to another by emans of sexual contacts.

Blood, semen and vaginal/ other body fluids play a huge role in transmission of the STIs ( caused by virus/bacteria/parasites etc) from one person to another. The STIs affect many silently and they do not get diagnosed in the early stage itself.It is the asymptomatic nature of the STDs that make them more dangerous.
