Answer 1

A sexually transmitted disease (STD), a.k.a. Venereal disease (VD), is an illness that has a significant probability of transmission between humans or animals by means of sexual contact, including vaginal intercourse, oral sex, and anal sex. Increasingly, the term sexually transmitted infection (STI) is used, as it has a broader range of meaning; a person may be infected, and may potentially infect others, without showing signs of disease. Some STIs can also be transmitted via the needles used in IV drug use, as well as through childbirth or breastfeeding. Sexually transmitted infections have been well known for hundreds of years.

Until the 1990s, such afflictions were commonly known as venereal diseases: Veneris is the Latin genitive (possessive) form of the name Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Social disease was another euphemism. Public health officials originally introduced the term sexually transmitted infection, which clinicians are increasingly using alongside the term sexually transmitted disease in order to distinguish it from the former. According to http://www.etharc.org, "Sometimes the terms STI and STD are used interchangeably. This can be confusing and not always accurate, so it helps first to understand the difference between infection and disease. Infection simply means that a germ — virus, bacteria, or parasite — that can cause disease or sickness is present inside a person’s body. An infected person does not necessarily have any symptoms or signs that the virus or bacteria is actually hurting his or her body; they do not necessarily feel sick. A disease means that the infection is actually causing the infected person to feel sick, or to notice something is wrong. For this reason, the term STI — which refers to infection with any germ that can cause an STD, even if the infected person has no symptoms — is a much broader term than STD." The distinction being made, however, is closer to that between a colonization and an infection, rather than between an infection and a disease.

Answer 3

HIV can occur in people that have never had sex, from things like needle sharing, or blood transfusions. It can even occur during birth if the mother was HIV positive...

The same applies for some forms of Hepatitis.

Bacterial STDs do not occur unless someone is sexually active (and decides to engage the enemy without wearing a helmet aka. using rubber)

Wearing a condom is the best thing to do, regardless of whether either of you have an STD, since STDs are not the only issue, there is also the issue of an unwanted pegnancy for example...

Answer 4

Possibly. There are some things that can be transmitted sexually that can also be acquired non-sexually.

For instance: a yeast infection. This can be passed back and forth. Many men don't even know they have it or don't know what it is (ever heard of "jock itch"?). Various bacterial infections. If you have a cold sore (or he does) and you have oral sex, this can be spread (it is herpes).

And YES, you can get pregnant the first time you have sex! So, there's really no good reason not to use a condom.
