One of my friends is on the pill. She also recently was tested positive for Hepatitis C. It can also take upwards of 10 years to show any signs of HPV or HIV/AIDS. So you may *look* healthy *now* you may even test negative now, but that doesn't mean you will in the future.

Condoms don't even protect you from things like crabs and strains of HPV. So even then, condoms aren't 100%, but at least it effectively reduces your chances of getting most for-life STIs.

The feeling of security in the health of you and your partner far outweighs the physical feeling, IMO. While you trust your partner to monogamous, their past can creep up on them. Or, they might do something behind your back, as we've seen in various threads on Tilted Sexuality. A lot of people think, "oh my partner would never..." only find out that they did.

The group that currently has the highest risk of contracting HIV/AIDS are heterosexual women (in MONOGAMOUS relationships, like marriages, because their husbands slept around behind their backs).
