No... nor is always used in association with "neither". So the right usage would be "I have neither an infectious disease nor a sexually transmitted one".
Hope this helps...Bye!

The word 'nor' does not alone gives a meaning in a sentence.It is a word in association with 'neither' will only deliver a proper meaning to the sentence.Some people use it as 'I have no fever nor head ache now'. But this is not a correct usage.
'The goal earned by England in FIFA league match was neither a victory for England nor a defeat of Paraguay.'
To negate several points, some people use nor in the beginning of a sentence. This may give a better shape to the total content.

Nor has to follow neither. The same way either/or works, so does neither/nor. It's like the negative version, if that makes any sense.
So you would say, I have neither infectious diseases nor sexually transmitted diseases.
