Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that can be spread by having sexual contact (anal, vaginal, or oral) with another person who is infected. Most STIs are curable, although some are not. Many people who have been infected with a STI don't even know it. They may look and feel healthy, but they still could be infected.
Furthermore, some people who have been diagnosed will not share this information with their partner(s). It is your responsibility to employ good judgment, use preventative measures, and be tested if you suspect that you have been infected.
Practicing safe sex can cut down on the spread of STIs but not totally prevent them. To decrease risk:
