Note that a full STD panel is of limited comfort if you know the risks. First, HIV is undetectable for months after infection, though it is perfectly transmittable. A couple tests, months apart, with no other partners over the period is the only way to go there with reasonable certainty. HSV (herpes) and HPV (warts) are not going to be reveled in these tests. HSV can be transmitted even with a condom on and when an outbreak is not particularly evident. HPV is often not visible or detectable and is often transmitted by unprotected oral sex. Those are the realities.

The most necessary step in reducing the risk is actually knowing your sex partner well enough to be pretty sure he/she is trustworthy and would not be hiding a known infection or a sexual interlude with someone else. Few people have HSV (herpes) and do not know it, but blind carriers are not unknown either. However, if the individual is part of a couple and is infected, it is highly unlikely that both partners in a sexually active couple would not express the infection. That is a big attraction some have for couples, that and the fact that they have more personal responsibilities typically than singlees generally do. HPV? The best you can do is look for signs of it on the genitals. It is unlikely that people are going to go to condom-protected oral sex in any bg way.

Pregnancies can be fixed. HIV, HSV, Hepatitis, and HPV (due to detectability and thus remediation) pretty much are lifetime chronic diseases. Is NSA bareback fun really worth the worries, much less the risk? Modern condoms are really not that bad and you can reduce the risks, as outlined, to comfortably consider nareback with a committed extramarital partner.
