Dr. Thomas Namey answered

Specializes in Rheumatology

Clean?: What do you mean "clean?" if you mean both are free from any std (which would require the both of you to be tested) or both of you are virgins, than using a condom can certainly assure you that an std is not transmitted. If you have oral sex, you can also transmit an std! know your partners past sexual hstory!
