can virgins get STDS?
me and my gf are both virgins? can we get stds if we are gonna have sex for the first time since you only get it through another infected person and your body does not "make" it.
just to be clear,,i have got a lot of ramblings and redundant answers which I don't want.so I'm gonna make it clear now.
1)we have NOT had any previous partners(dont' answer stuff like,,,she may not be telling the truth,,etc etc.i don't care about that,i just want to know if two virgins having sex can get stds)
2)we have NOT had any previous oral sex partners
3)we have NOT had any form of intimacy with other ppl,like kissing,heavy petting,anal sex...just bottomline: we both are in our first love.
4)we have not used any drugs,needles,etc.and assume we do not have HIV in our body,from mosquitoes,,we are perfectly CLEAN.
5)yes i know to be a 100 percent safe,use a condom,but for now..i would like to know the answer to the question.
6)i know you can get pregnant without a condom.
thanks guys

Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
- From the way you've explained it, It seems to me that you guys are perfectly fine.
But i'd still say use protection, because either one of you could've been born with an
std, It's better to be safe.
Hope this helps :)

This is a very good question.
In short, yes it is very possible for someone to have an STD and not be aware of it while never having any previous sexual partners.
If you check around some forums for people with STDs you will notice a surprising number of people who have transmitted their STD to their infant. The infant will unknowingly grow up so use to the symptoms of the incurable STD that they will be clueless that it is transmittable.
When I was researching some herpes facts I found that a many number of parents transferred their herpes onto the genitals of their newborn during diaper changes. Some women also pass the virus along to an unborn child as it is passing through the vaginal canal. This is why they are instructed to take a course of herpes treatment pills (remember, it is not curable, the pills only help to relieve some symptoms) in hopes the woman does not experience an outbreak during labor--when it would be easier for the baby to contract.
It is also very common for babies to be born with AIDs in Africa. The blood that naturally comes from the woman during labor usually will transmit the disease to the infant. Again, the baby will grow so accustomed to their disease that they aren't even fully aware that they have contracted something very serious.
The only way to know if you are completely clean from STDs is to have a complete blood test done. Even then, herpes can be hidden within the body unless it is currently broken out into a blister.
Anyway, yes, a person can very well be born with an STD or contract it very early in life. Many parents are so ashamed that they have spread their disease that they do not tell the child about the seriousness of it. Many parents also kiss their young children on the lips occassionally and may spread things like herpes this way and some children do not even remember being kissed by a parent--I know this for a fact.
I also want to take note that condoms so a very poor job in helping to prevent the spread of STD/STIs. Seriously, if you're concerned about your health then you should have yourself and your partner screened for illnesses before engaging in activities. Many, many people contract STDs/STIs from engaging in sex with condoms. Condoms aren't really for preventing the spread of such things--they are only meant to be a barrier from sperm entering the vagina. This being said, it does not cover the entire genital region and, let's face it, STDs usually do.
I hope I've helped clear some things up with you!

from what you have described, you both are fine and no you cant get any stds from each other

The possibility of either of you contracting an STD from one another is rare, but there is DEFINITELY ALWAYS a small possibility. If you wanted to make sure, get checked by your doctors for common STDs. But unless your parents have STDs or one of you somehow got injected with an STD when you were children, the chances are slim.
Of course, use a condom, like you said.
