No. A monogamous relationship won't automatically protect you from STIs (or pregnancy). Anyone can get a sexually transmitted infection, sometimes even without noticeable symptoms. Although some STIs produce discharge or other visible signs, it's not always possible to tell by looking at someone if they have an STI.

Yes. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can both be cured with the right treatment. If these STDs aren't treated, they can cause serious health problems, like making it difficult or impossible for a woman to get pregnant. If you have an STD, it's important to get treatment right away.

Gonorrhea can be passed even if the penis doesn't go all the way in the vagina or anus. The main ways people get gonorrhea are from having vaginal sex, anal sex, or oral sex. You can also get gonorrhea by touching your eye if you have infected fluids on your hand.

If 2 people who don't have any STDs have sex, it's not possible for either of them to get one. A couple can't create an STD from nothing — they have to get spread from one person to another.

If they're not treated, chlamydia and gonorrhea can lead to PID. PID can also be caused by other untreated infections, like bacterial vaginosis. PID is common — more than a million people get it every year.
