Lets say a girl and a guy have never had sex before. What if they have unprotected sex.. is it still possible to get a sexually transmitted disease?

The situation you describe is an unlikely one, but it is possible.
There are certain STD’s, HIV among them, that can be transmitted during birth or through breast milk.
Always use a condom until you are married.
Condoms marginally protect you from STD’s and also can aid in preventing pregnancy. If you aren’t married and capable of taking care of a child you have no right risking bringing one into the world.
A couple of other things. People lie, especially about things they are embarrassed about or wish were different. Just because someone says they are a virgin doesn’t mean they are. Likewise, just because a girl says she is on the pill, doesn’t mean that she is or that she is good about taking them on time, or that she isn’t a little nuts and trying to trap you in a pregnancy and only pretending to take them.
The point is, you can never be too careful.
People lie about STD’s all the time. An estimated 1 in 4 Americans has herpes, but in 15 years of dating I’ve never heard anyone own up to having it. I’m not foolish enough to think I haven’t been exposed to it. The numbers tell me I must have been, but I have been consistent in using protection, and thankfully seem to have dodged the bullet.
The point is you can never be too careful when it comes to safeguarding yourself and your future.
