Yes: STDs can be transmitted at any time , even during your period. Condom use can help limit your exposures and should be used with all sexual activity.

Yes: Sexually transmitted infections including HIV can be transmitted any time you have unprotected sex. If you are concerned that you have been exposed you should see your doctor and be examined and tested.
