You will never know until it's too late. Far too many people have AIDS and they don't find out until months and even years later. Just be careful if you are sexually active becuase just because someone looks clean or has been tested ( they could've had unprotected sex after they got tested!) it doesn't mean they are free from STDS.

you can get an std from almost anything. if you actually have inercourse or oral can do that too you can get it from kissing someone with an std because the skin on your lips is thin so one little cut or something and it's in your blood stream. you should always go get tested before you have sex with a partner and always use protection.

many diseases are passed through blood, which can be found in saliva; herpes, AIDS, hepatitus...  if you are having sex of any kind- you should use a condom, and you should be tested regularly.  if you are in a monogomous relationship, and you have both been tested recently, then you can look into only using birth control.  but it's up to you to get tested, and decide if you trust the person you're with to be monogomous.

I don't know. How is this an STD question?

It really depends on the promiscuity of your partner, same sex or not. Two healthy people in a monogamous relationship who have taken proper precautions to prevent STDs in their previous relationships should have no problems in this regard. To be sure, it's always a good idea to have an STD test done on a regular basis if you're sexually active, and certainly *before* getting involved in a new relationship if at all possible.

A virgin test tells whether or not a female has had prior sexual intercourse. No, its not applicable to men.

I suggest the woman demands the man who claims he's a virgin and has no STDs to get tested before actually getting married.   If the man refuses, then you have your liar.  I think that it should work both ways for both sexes (if the man wants their fiancee to get tested, she should not refused either if she is honest about her virginity or lacking STDs).  I think that's best solution for guaranteeing safety and honesty

Some clinics will do free STD testing, you should call you local county health office, they should be able to send you to the right place.\n\nAlso planned parenthood tends to do some free tests.\n\nIf you are just looking for HIV testing useally planned parenthood will do that, and many gay bars and establishments have times that testing is done there.

You can easily get an STD from oral sex--like herpes, AIDS/HIV... Use flavored condoms or if you are in a monogamous relationship you should both be tested before going without.

Sounds like a simple answer, right? Nope. \n1. No one that is sexually active can say that they are "clean." For several STD's there are no tests/ways to screen. \n   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.\n   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. \n  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.\n   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. \nThus, no one can say they are "clean" because they can not be tested for all STD's. \n2. 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.\n  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.\nashastd.org\nplannedparenthood.org

Yes,ask your sex partners.  There's no harm in asking someone if they have had an HIV test.  That information can keep the both of you healthy.
