“Can you still be a virgin if you had sex one time? Also, how do you know if you have any disease(s)?”

The word “virgin” is used when something is “untried” or “uninitiated” so when a couple engage in sex, they are no longer considered virgins. Once you become sexually active, even one time, you have to be concerned about getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or becoming pregnant. You should see your care provider to get appropriate testing and to discuss how diseases are transmitted sexually, how to use condoms to reduce the risk of getting an STI and methods of birth control to prevent an unintended pregnancy.
