History PlayingWith / STDImmunity

** Alice is [[NatureAdoresAVirgin a virgin]]. And a big part of ''why'' she's a virgin is fear of [=STDs=]; she's waiting until marriage to have sex, because then she's ''way'' less likely to contract one.
** Alice comes down with a virus (such as Ebola) that ''can'' be transmitted sexually, even if she didn't contract it from sex. When she is discharged from the hospital, she is urged to use condoms until ''all'' remnants of the virus are out of her system.
** Alice is in a monogamous marriage, but winds up with gonorrhea. Turns out, Bob was cheating on her with Carol, and passed the disease on to her.
** AliceAndBob use a condom.
** AliceAndBob go to the clinic together to get tested.

** Alice marries Bob, and things are great for a while ... until Alice finds out that Bob has been having an affair with Carol. She gets tested for [=STDs=], and the test comes back negative.
** At some point during those months, Alice forgets the condom, but her partner never gets the virus.
** Bob never contracts any [=STDs=] himself.
** They mainly use it for birth control, not so much for STI protection.
** Even though both of them have had unprotected sex recently with other people, they both come back with a clean bill of health.

** Alice marries Bob, and things are great for a while ... until Alice finds out that Bob has been [[YourCheatingHeart having an affair with Carol]]. She gets tested for [=STDs=], and the test comes back negative.

* '''Inverted''': [=STDs=] are frequently discussed, and some characters have them. It's a big subject of story.

** …and finds out she doesn't have one. She's happy, and never mentions them again.

* '''Zig-Zagged''': Alice ReallyGetsAround with [[ExtremeOmnisexual men and women]] who have varying levels of risk of [=STDs=]. She's lucky not to contract [=STDs=] from some of her infected partners, gets a few low-level [=STDs=] from others that she gets cleared up soon enough, but somehow she gets '''''AIDS''''' after sleeping with the squeaky-clean Adam.

** Since Alice doesn't have to worry about [=STDs=], Alice becomes a HighClassCallGirl or a porn star. She gets to not only have sex (which she loves), but she also gets paid for it.

'''Basic Trope''': No one ever has to worry about [=STDs=], no matter how much unprotected sex they have.

** Alice lives in TheDungAges. Condoms don't exist, and neither do other modern contraceptive methods, and Alice and most of her partners are...[[ThePigpen chronically unwashed]], and germ theory isn't a thing. Yet neither Alice nor any of her partners nor anyone else ever contracts an STD. As for contraception, Alice either takes her chances, or uses questionable herbs from the village midwife.
* '''Downplayed''': [=STDs=] are occasionally mentioned -- in the context of side characters, and only as a joke.

** Alice lives in an RPGMechanicsVerse, and has Immunity To Disease as a class feature/feat/perk/advantage.

** No one ever talks about [=STDs=], until a partner of Alice's tells her he has one. Alice discusses [=STDs=] and gets tested.
** Alice claims that she doesn't have to worry about [=STDs=]... but then it turns out she's talking about [[FunWithAcronyms State Transition Diagrams or Standard Testing Documentation]].

** Alice marries Bob, and things are great for a while...until Alice finds out that Bob has been [[YourCheatingHeart having an affair with Carol]]. She gets tested for [=STDs=], and the test comes back negative.
** At some point during those months, Alice forgets the condom, but her partner never gets the virus.

* '''Zig Zagged''': ???

* '''Enforced''': EverybodyHasLotsOfSex, and if even one character had an [=STD=], ''everyone'' would have it. The writers don't want to deal with that, so they leave out [=STDs=] all together.
* '''Lampshaded''': "I know I'm so lucky I've never had an [=STD=]."
* '''Invoked''': Science comes up with new treatments and cures for [=STDs=] that currently exist (chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, HPV, HIV, etc.), and vaccines to prevent them in the first place.

** Alice knows that [=STD=] Immunity is in effect, and so she doesn't need to worry about them.
** Since Alice doesn't have to worry about [=STDs=], Alice becomes a HighClassCallGirl or a porn star. She gets to not only have sex (which she loves), but she also gets paid for it.
* '''Defied''': Even though science has made sex a lot safer, people are still wary, so it doesn't change society's sexual mores or politics.
* '''Implied''': Alice ReallyGetsAround, and for an unrelated reason goes to the doctor for a thorough medical examination that would reasonably include STD testing. She is in perfect health.
