In other words can two people that have no infections or disease contract something knowing that unprotected sex is involved in the situation. I think it can happen but I would like to know everyone else's opinion.

Sounds like a simple answer, right? Nope.
1. No one that is sexually active can say that they are "clean." For several STD's there are no tests/ways to screen.
A. Genital Herpes--there is no way to screen/test for it unless someone has sores present and then those sores are cultured. 1 in 5 Americans have genital herpes and many of them do not know it because they have never had sores but they still have the virus, which they got from a sex partner, who may also have not know that he/she had it. Anyone sexually active has probably been exposed to it at some point because it is so common. So, if someone is sexually active there is no way to know for sure that someone does not have it.
B. HPV, the virus that causes genital warts and cellular changes on the cervix--similiar to genital herpes there is no way to screen/test for it unless someone has ever had warts/symptoms. Again, anyone sexually active has probably been exposed to it and may also have it and not know it--it is very common.
C. HIV--If someone contracts HIV it can take 3-6 months for the virus to be detected through testing, so a negative test today is not a definative test. A negative test today would be considered negative for 6 months ago and before.
D. Trichomoniasis--Only women can be screened for this STD, there is no way to screen/test men for it. Men only receive treatment for it when their partner comes back positive.
Thus, no one can say they are "clean" because they can not be tested for all STD's.
2. The herpes virus can be transmitted from the mouth to the genitals and from the genitals to the mouth (though this pathway is much less common and not as easy to occur). Oral cold sores are caused by a herpes virus, if a partner with a cold sore performs oral sex on a partner they could very easily give their partner genital herpes. And, in this situation neither partner had genital herpes to start with beforehand. And, in many couples this type of herpes transmission occurs when both partner are virgins--never having intercourse, but having oral sex. Yet, on partner has a oral cold sore, performs oral sex on their partner and the other partner contracts genital herpes. Thus, here is a situation when virgins can contract an STD. When a partner has a cold sore they should not let their cold sore come into contact with their partner's mouth/lips etc or their partner's genitals to protect their partner.
Because there is no way to say that someone is clean and also because STD's can occur between two people w/o and STD and two virgins, regarding herpes, it would always be wise to pratice safer sex, get regular STD screenings for those infections that can be screened for and always talk openly with your partner about your health history and your comfort level.

If neither is infected or carrying an STD, then it would be improbable for them to "make" one in the course of unprotected sex. However, many people carry STDs, such as HIV and HPV and don't know it because they don't have nay symptoms. These people can pass it along to others unknowingly.
Usually, it is easier for a woman to contract an STD, and a man to carry it without any symptoms, for obvious biomechanical reasons.

I got diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 5 yrs ago, when I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I know a lot of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date other men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/qSRG5 everything improved.
Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system provided me the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.

It can't happen but you should be aboslutely sure neither you nor your parent carry an STD before you have unprotected sex. You could have an STD and not know it.

No. If both people are completely clean, they won't get a STD. It is a sexually transmitted disease...meaning it is passed on and on from person to person. To get one, you have to have unprotected sex with someone who has it.

Yes you can. If one of you have a cold sore on or in your mouth and you kiss or do other things, you can pass your cold sore to their private areas, and boom, herpes. Also if you get a yeast infection or a bladder problem you can pass that to him, although that's really not a STD...just be careful, us humans are full of diseases.

Nope. The only way to get an STD is from an infected person. If neither of you is infected, one can't give anything to the other.
