1. Can you still catch an STD if you have sex with a virgin:
Yes. They may be a technical virgin, meaning they have never had penile/vaginal intercourse, but have engaged in other forms of sexual activity (oral, mutual masturbation and even long-kissing). In this case, they may have caught an STD that is passed through skin-to-skin contact (for example: HPV, Syphilis, Herpes, etc.) Other ways STD's may be passed is through I.V. drug use or if the person was born with the disease.
2. If you wear a condom can you still catch an STD:

Yes. A lot happens during sexual activity that can make condoms ineffective in preventing STD's. Condoms can break. Condoms can slip off. Fluid produced by the vagina could be infected and spread beyond where a condom covers. Also, STD's can infect many parts of the body such as the mouth, anis, throat, the areas around the genitals and the eyes. How many areas does a condom cover??? What good is a condom on the penis going to do if the infected area is under the pubic hair?  The bottom line is... there is no such thing as "Safe Sex" and "Safer Sex" just isn't safe enough.

3. What is HPV:
Human Papilloma Virus is also called genital warts. There are 100 strains of HPV, but only 30 of them cause genital infection. HPV is an extremely contagious sexually transmitted disease that is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, which means it is likely that a condom would NOT protect you. Most people who have HPV have no clue they have the disease because they have no visible symptoms and there is usually no pain associated with this disease. Although the HPV virus is known to go away on its own in many cases, it is still the cause of up to 98% of cervical cancer in women. More women die of cervical cancer in America than die of AIDS.
