No: Not if you are absolutely sure and monogamous.

Depends: If neither of you has ever had another sex partner then it would be unnecessary. Unfortunately there are stealth STD's like most genital strains of HPV that can be carried without symptoms in men for decades and pass to a new partner. It is a minor issue for most, but remains a problem for a few.
