The most common bacterial in the US is Chlamydia, most common viral is HPV. Herpes and HPV are both 'skin to skin" contact, so a condom doesn't always keep you safe.
Chlamydia is usually asymptomatic in women until the disease has progressed significantly.
All STD's can be trandsmitted by Penis-Vag. sex, oral and anal sex, and in any other moucus membrane. HPV can be transmitted on sex toys and damp washcloths and also in CO2 lasers plumes when treating HPV's genital warts.(gross,huh?)
Check out Planned Parenthood and the Denters for Disease Control's websites, and also your state Department of Public Health's website.
ALSO: there is a Federal law called the mature minor rule/law that allows underage teens to be treated and tested for STD's without parent's authorization-Family Planning and Planned Parenthood will treat and test minors-good info. to have for a school report,you can educate your classmates!!
Good luck.
