Wouldn't think so: I cannot think of a STD germ that would survive for long outside the body to the point where you or another passenger would be at any risk. Clean your car if there is any obvious stain/soiling. However, I wouldn't spend the time if it were not.

Not std: STD' s are not transmitted in this manner. Keeping your car clean is fine.
