* BuffyTheVampireSlayer gives us at least one example, maybe two. Faith has been stated to have lots of casual sex with no hint of condom usage yet never gets pregnant or infected with anything. This might be because of her being a Slayer, though. Who knows what those powers do to [=STDs=]. Pregnacies are harder to explain, seeing as at least one Slayer had a child (Nikki Wood, the Slayer Spike killed in 1977 and stole his famous leather duster from, is the mother of Robin Wood, principal of the new Sunnydale High and one of the few characters to get PutOnABus in [=BTVS=] and never return). Vampires are also likely immune.

*** I'm [[YouFailHistoryForever afraid]] [[ScienceMarchesOn not]]. The bubonic plague =/= The Black Death. Bubonic plague is caused by a modern bacterium, and bacteria are constantly evolving. It did not exist in the Middle Ages. There is not one scientist or historian in the world who thinks that 'The Plague' was Bubonic plague - possibly related, yes, but definitely not one and the same - the difference in symptoms is too great. Whilst the Plague did sometimes present with boils/lesions, the most common sign was a rash, which Bubonic plague does not.

** In some HarryPotter fanfic, wizards simply can't catch normal Muggle diseases. They occasionally get bizarre magical ones, but that usually involves comical consequences like one's face being covered with feathers, and is fixable with potions or a trip to the hospital.
