No risk, but why?: Using underwear does not prevent infections or diseases of any kind. That's not why almost everyone uses underwear. The main reason is to protect outer clothing from soiling by sweat, urine drips, moist farts, vaginal fluids, etc. But there is no health issue with or without underwear.
