STD transmission?

STD transmission?How does it work exactly? I was just thinking, if my ex was tested and was clear from from any STDs does that mean i am also clear or is it possible that someone i caught something form her and she was not infected?
Btw i am male if that makes a difference
She is the only sexual partner i've had.

In many cases people have no symptoms so you would never know unless you got tested. Especially in men.

doesn't make any difference if u are male or female stds don't care who u are. u could have gotten something from a previous partner and not have even known it. something else u should be ware of that not all stds are tested for in an std test so she could have something that she wasn't tested for.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also known as sexually-transmitted diseases (STD) or venereal diseases (VD), are infections that can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. Bacteria, viruses, fungi or protozoa can cause these infections. All STIs are symptomless during the incubation period. More than 10% of males, more than half of females with gonorrhoea and chlamydia trachomatis infection do not show any symptoms or signs.
The common STIs are:
*Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU)
*Syphilis
*Chlamydia infections
*Gonorrhoea
*Genital herpes
*Genital warts
*AIDS/HIV infection
STIs are transmitted through sexual intercourse or close body contact with another person who is infected with an STI. Transmission of some STIs e.g. NGU, HIV, Hepatitis B and gonorrhoea occurs when there is transfer of body fluids (e.g. semen from the male genital tract or vaginal and cervical secretions from the female genital tract) from an infected person to the sex partner. Transmission of other STIs, e.g. scabies, pubic lice, syphilis, herpes and warts occurs when there is intimate skin-to-skin contact. Some STIs e.g. syphilis, hepatitis B and HIV may be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy or delivery. These infections may also be transmitted through sharing of injection needles or through contaminated blood transfusions.
Bacterial STIs are curable if treated early. Early treatment of an STI prevents transmission to others and also prevents complications. Most viral STIs however are not curable.
