STIs, condoms, etc...?

STIs, condoms, etc...?I'm having a little trouble finding a clear answer on this. If two people are healthy and have no types of STIs, STDs, HIV, or anything... is it possible for one or both partners to become infected with something like this from anal intercourse? This is a hypothetical question running on the assumption that both partners are healthy, have had no previous sexual history and are completely monogamous. In such a circumstance, is the use of condoms necessary? i.e. Would the condom offer any actual protection? How can a condom reduce the risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection if neither partner is infected to begin with?

Also, I just want to make it clear that I understand that it's best to always use a condom if you don't fully trust someone else 100% because you can never really know about their sexual past or if they're being honest. I'm just trying to make sure I understand how this works.

Thanks!

If neither of the partners have any STDs then you cannot get an STD from any type of intercourse. You can only get STDs from a person who actually has an STD. Condoms always offer protection, but if there is nothing to protect against... see what I mean? If it is vaginal intercourse, I would recommend wearing a condom if for no other reason than to prevent pregnancy.

No, an std wouldn't result from that particular situation, however condoms should be used to prevent pregnancy. Even if the girl is on the pill, it's never too safe to use extra precautions. Anal intercourse does require a lot of cleanliness, and it's not a good idea to have anal sex and then switch to vaginal sex without the male partner either washing his penis first or putting on a condom. A woman can get a vaginal infection from fecal bacteria getting into her vagina. Condoms are always good to use for hygienic reasons.

if neither on of you has an std then you cant give each other an std. if you dont have something how can you give it away. And yes you should always use protection. Condoms are also used to prevent pregnances.

A condom is a must each time. Only time when not to use one is when u and your parenter are in a serious realionship, both sides get tested at the same time and are faithfull. But if u do plan to have sex outside of a realionship, still use a condom.
