My question is: is it possible for us to give each other a STD while having unprotected sex even though we both have gotten tested and they came back clean??I always thought that to get one, one person has to have one and engage in any form of sex.

 YES. The disease could be in the DORMANT stage. Do some research into Biology. You will find many answers there.

For example HIV which is why it's recommended to be tested 6 months to a year and half after possible exposure. And please please trust no one. Hate to sound like a skeptic, but people slip and cheat and your partner may not mention it. And a slip of cheating can expose that person to an STD. So just be careful. No one is safe. Even in marriage. So be wise.

No you can't, but if you have any doubts about your partner cheating then wrap up! And use some other kind of protection in the meantime to prevent any sprogs :P, the pill? x

 Hi there,I think the only risk is that some STDs take a few months to become detectable. So best-practice is for 6 months of abstinence and/or safe-sex before the test. I don't think it's uncommon to be tested in the first instance and then retested in 6 months time.Since your g/f is paranoid, the wikipedia article about STDs would probably be a good read. I generally prefer sex skin-on-skin (I have a vasectomy myself and have in the past dated girls who have been on the pill) and tend regard this as perfectly safe, as long as you're both monogamous. Of course there are plenty of stories here about a cheating partner bringing a disease to the relationship, so one has to be sure one's trust is well-placed.

 Hi
If you both got tested and are clean, and havent been with anyone else since then, then you will be fine.
