A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

This might sound a bit stupid...but I'll ask anyway!

I lost my virginity to my boyfriend. He was a virgin also, and we used a condom. Neither of us had been sexual with anyone else before each other, and haven't been while we've been together. And before u ask, yes i know this is the truth.

Is there still a chance i could have got some sort of STI?

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

thanks for ur replies.

I know for certain that he's as clean as he's said he is. He's my best friend and have known him since we were little. before each other, neither of us has any form of sexual contact, whether its oral or penetrative.

I'm not worried that i have anything, it was just out of curiousity.

Thanks again :)

DoubleM agony auntTrue virgins are so unlikely to either acquire or pass a sexual transmitted disease that it is almost silly. That being said, girls do develop certain infections, like yeast infections, due to other conditions. Some infections may also be acquired in public restrooms, but paranoia about all this is more likely than reality if you are certain about a partner's activities.

You can get it during oral if you have some kind of cut or sore in or on your mouth.. Avoid oral at any cost if you do.. If you dont then its fine and condoms protects you from most stis

The other answers say it all really, if you're really worried about it then go and talk to your GP, if they think it's necessary then you can be tested.

A reader, anonymous, writes (17 February 2010):

Not very likely if you are both virgins. However, it depends on your definition of virginity. Does that include oral sex too? If either of you have had oral sex with anyone then that person could have contacted a STI. Even with kissing you could have contacted HSV-1 (herpes 1 - cold sores) and that can be transmitted to your partner either orally or genitally. These are just some possibilities, but I would think that you are most likely safe.

well, it's a tiny risk, but some people catch sti's from their own mother at birth...hpv at least i know is possible, but more than half the human population has had or will have hpv at some point in their life. and of course, HIV as well...but again, a tiny tiny tiny risk... has he been a virginal intravenous drug user? that would be the only case where i could say your risk is truly elevated for things like HIV and hepatitus...if you are really really worried about this just go get tested.

birdynumnums agony auntWell, technically, yes, but I hope not.

If he lied, then, yes, you could still have an STI. For instance, herpes doesn't respect the condom. So, technically, you could have been exposed to herpes.

But we aren't you and we don't know whether or not to believe him, so your question is technically, back to you and your relationship with him!
