The truth is, you can get STD's even if you wear condoms. You can get certian things from oral sex (mostly herpes), and as Kimmie pointed out you can get herpes from kissing (although most people --80-90% of the population-- already have had a cold sore).
Now, does this mean that we shouldn' have sex? I sure hope not.
The fact is, many diseases are hard to recognize, test for and control. The best thing to do is to be resposible for yourself. Be tested regurarly, and tell your partner what those tests say. And if you do catch something, do the best you can to to cope. Catching an STD doesn't mean you did anything wrong. I just hope we realize how much pain STD's can cause and focus more attention to educating ourselves about them and researching preventative measures and treatments.
anyway, it looks like many of you need to get something real off the internet and do some research. (cure for AIDS? wow. If there was, every scientist on the planet would be trying to get their hands on that, and the corresponding Nobel Prize. Logic, my friends. It's so easy.)
