I sometimes get super paranoid about this, more often than not when hooking up with a craislist chick or something, not quite as paranoid if its just through a social circle or something though at the end of the day you never can really know who's got something.
I always use condoms and am pretty concious about being hygenic and safe, always wash my shit really well afterwords, etc.
That said I have buddies who go around raw dogging the nastiest one night stands and never have any issues. It's good to be cautious but don't let it ruin your good time or drive you crazy. I think it's a lot harder to catch an STD than sexed or pop culture may lead you to believe, especially if you use condoms and are safe about what you do.
