You can't.: Unfortunately this underscores how important it is to practice safe sex. Even in the most open and honest relationships, she may not even know if she carries certain asymptomatic stds.

You don't: And she may not know she has one or more. Some STD's cause no symptoms in either males or females but can still cause significant problems.
