is there a risk of STDs if both partners are virgins?

im a virgin and was wondering, if me and my bf are both virgins, and have sex, other than pregnancy, is there any STD risk? cos STDs are sexually transmitted so if we have never had sex we can t have STDs. i know the risk of pregnancy but i ll be on the pill

Some "stds" can be passed on by things like kissing/oral sex/even sharing towels so yes, there would still be a risk.

there's always the risk that he's not ACTUALLY a virgin. you never really know -- even if you trust him completely. that being said, in lots of circumstances, the risk is negligible.

An STD could have been passed down from the parents or something, so yes.

If either of you have parents with HIV (unlikely as the incubation period is about 10 years so by now you'd know) or if you've had blood contact with somebody who was HIV +ve, or also if either of you have coldsores (herpes virus) etc

chyphillis (siphilis? sorry for the poor spelling, but I'm sure you know what I mean,) can be inherited. But I'm sure that it would have become apparant by now!
If he's previously received oral from a girl, he could have caught something, or if you've given/received oral from a lad who's infected, you could have something. However, the risk is probably a great deal smaller than if either of you had had sex!

i dont believe in it, and my bf has heard is less good for the man. we think no physical barrier is more natural but will use the pill.

if he has recieved/givel oral can he have a diease?

How do you get an STD?
You can get and pass STDs through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Trichomoniasis can also picked up from contact with damp or moist objects such as towels, wet clothing, or a toilet seat, if the genital area gets in contact with these damp objects. Some STDs cause no symptoms. But STDs can still be passed from person to person even if there are no symptoms.

so if i share a towel i can have an std??

I don't think it is possible to get any or start any STD or HIV, AIDS etc if both of you are virgins.
Agree with Happyshinygirl, unless you or ur partner have had oral sex with other people who are HIV positive or have STD, other than that you cant really get STD or anything like that if you are a virgin
Unless, you get it from public toilet seats or share towels with sum1 who have STD etc but that is like 0.1% chance getting sexual diseases

is there a risk of STDs if both partners are virgins?
