Notably herpes, hpv and syphilis can still be transmitted

"The most reliable ways to avoid transmission of STDs are to abstain from sexual activity, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner"

Sounds very much like some Christian agenda bring pushed here.

50% of the population gets herpes and syphilis gets cured with antibiotics. HPV has a vaccine.

The article itself says you won't get anything if you use a condom properly.

But hey -- don't leave the house for fear of a car accident type thing...

The only STDs reliably prevented through condoms are probably HIV and trichomoniasis.

You can get all of the following (probably 99% of all relevant STD cases recruit from those) via kissing (and blowjobs) alone:

Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, urea/myco-plasma, crabs, HPV, HSV, several borderline-STD bacteria like H. parainfluenca.
