She may not have known she had them. Having sex with a condom helps you from catching an STD but it's not 100%. You can catch it from body fluids like blood, vaginal fluids, or semen. They can also be spread by coming in contact with infected skin or mucous membranes. Syphilis, gonorrhoea and herpes simplex can all be caught through oral sex. Herpes, HPV warts and syphilis can be caught through contact with areas that are not covered by a condom and oral sex.

Some strains of STD give you signs as soon after you had sexual contact with a person that had and STD like certain strains of HPV. Other STD strains you could have gotten from a person that you had sexual contact with from weeks, months or years ago and never had any signs. Years later you can have an outbreak and you automatically assume you caught it from the last person you have sex with and that's not the case. If anything you could of had it for years and never knew it.

HPV warts will go away on their own but you will never get rid of the HPV virus. To reduce the possibility from others getting it you need to use a condom. Other STD's can be cleared from the body but you can still catch them again if you were with another that has it.

It's best to go to the doctor to get tested for which STD you have. Some STD's are annoying and embarrassing to deal with but can go away on their own. Others if left untreated can cause serious damage like Chlamydia. It's the 2nd highest spread STD. HPV is #1. If not treated in men it causes discharge from the penis, pain when you pee, and can make you sterile. For women it gives then pains in the abdomen, painds during sex, messed up periods and tubal pregnancies.

All info I have ever read had said for the person with signs of and STD on the body to tell the person that you were just with. Noone can really know who gave it to who since STD's can stay dormant for years. Now that you know you have it if you don't tell her she may never know she has it and can pass it on to another.
