I just have a quick question that I hope can be answered by someone knowledgable. I am wondering if you have sex (intercourse) with someone but do nothing without a condom on, I mean no foreplay or oral sex without a condom, what STD's do you have to worry about given the fact that the condom did not break or anything? I know things like herpes and warts, but what about Chlamydia and gonorrhea? Aren't they passed by body fluids and if you have a condom on and don't come into contact with fluids, would I still need to worry about them?

Nothing can pass without contact, but condoms (specifically latex) only protect what they can cover (and they can break). And "contact" can be a loose term, meaning that if she has something and you wear a condom, but you touch the condom and get the infectious fluid on your fingers, then you take the condom off and touch yourself with the fluid, then you can get infected. When in doubt, wash thoroughly before and after sex.
