Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (25 April 2009): I don't know what the debate is here, her question was 'is there a possibility of contracting an STI from a virgin?', the answer is, YES it is possible 'can a virgin be a carrier of an STI?' YES they can.
That's a medical fact, ask any doctor.
If that's a medical certainty, then why are people posting that it's not a possibility? That two virgins having sex is 100% safe? When it's not.
This isn't an opinion based question, it's a very simple factual one with a yes or no answer, where only one answer can be correct because it's fact.

So far no problem as we keep sex to ourselves only. Ever since she stopped eating pills, we got kids. Well, four in total. So if kids are not what you want, eat pills. If STD is not what you want, keep sex to yourselves only. Otherwise, use protection.

 Well I'm again the social liberal here, meaning that despite my political conservatism, I'm unconvinced that the Western world is replete with disease-infected individuals. I've been screwing around for more than 45 years without contracting any serious STD whatsoever.
Although I developed some yeast infection (Thrush) last year, it was probably due to heavy antibiotics taken for a chest infection rather than sex with a girlfriend. Yogurt and some treatment with probiotics took care of that.
So, although I agree with reasonable precaution if you are consorting with a sexually active stranger, I highly doubt that two healthy, confirmed virgins are likely to contract a sexually transmitted disease during their first activity. I'm simply not as paranoid as many others, apparently. Just avoid intravenous drug users, scum bags and other human excrement - and STDs are very unlikely. Pregnancy is another possibility, however. The pill typically averts that issue, as does menopause for older women. Again, I believe in and utilize reasonable caution if there is any reason to, but STD paranoia is largely an overblown issue, in my opinion.

 You got great advice, I just want to push the PREGNANCY factor!! Most methods that don't involve any protection (pulling out, going by your ovulation cycle, or any other theorized contraception) are NOT reliable. They may work some of the time, but NEVER all of the time. None of them are 100% and you are NOT fully protected from finding yourself pregnant with his baby (and of course completely unprotected from any STI's).
So be VERY VERY careful is what I'm saying, sweetness. I don't mean to be preachy or anything, I think it's very smart of you to be asking this question. Good luck!

So yes there are plenty of cases of virgins having and transmitting STI's.
