Any/all STD's can be asymptomatic, meaning no symptoms. With most STD's people do not have symptoms.
If you are concerned about STD's you should be examined by a clinician and screened for STD's.

Yeah definately! A lot of stds don't show any symptoms.
The best course of action is to have a full check before you sleep with a new partner to rule out any stds. Have a look below for a brief list of common stds and their symptoms:

Candidiasis: Itching in the vaginal area, pain when urinating, and a thick odourless vaginal discharge. Candidiasis (commonly known as thrush) is not strictly categorised as a sexually transmitted disease, but it can be transmitted sexually.

Chlamydia: For women — a white vaginal discharge that resembles cottage cheese, a burning sensation when urinating, itching, painful intercourse.
For men — a clear, watery, urethral discharge.
However, often there are no symptoms.

Genital herpes: Itching, burning in the genital area, discomfort when urinating, a watery vaginal or urethral discharge, weeping, fluid-filled eruptions in the vagina or on the penis.

Genital warts: Soft, cauliflower-like growths appearing either singly or in clusters in and around the vagina, anus, penis, and/or scrotal area. There appears to be a close relationship between genital warts and cervical cancer as certain types of genital wart virus are consistently found in women with cervical cancer.

Gonorrhoea: For women — frequent and painful urination, a cloudy vaginal discharge, vaginal itching, inflammations of the pelvic area, rectal discharge, abnormal uterine bleeding.

For men — a yellowish, pus-filled urethral discharge.
Often, however, there are no symptoms, especially in women.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): A pus-filled vaginal discharge accompanied by fever and lower abdominal pain.

Syphilis: A sore on the genitals, rash, patches of flaking tissue, fever, sore throat, sores in the mouth or anus.

Trichomoniasis: For women — vaginal itching and pain, with a foamy, greenish or yellow foul-smelling discharge.
For men — a clear urethral discharge.

Yes they may: HPV, HIV,...
It is possible to be an asymptomatic carrier of sexually transmitted diseases.
Depending on the STD, a person may or may not still be able to spread the infection if no signs of disease are present. For example, a person is much more likely to spread herpes infection when blisters are present (STD) than when they are absent (STI). However, a person can spread HIV infection (STI) at any time, even if he/she has not developed symptoms of AIDS (STD).

Yes, if you suspect you have an STD get checked and don't have unprotected sex, you can have no symptoms and still infect someone else.
