      In DS9 it's mentioned that people get a regular prophylactic hypospray for birth control, so maybe there's one for disease as well.

        I know it was basically the aliens physiology, but didn't Harry Kim get space herpes in the episode where they're helping to repair a generational ship.

          More like "space co-dependence" where if both partners aren't around each other enough they get super bad hangovers.

          It was technically her species' bonding process but in addition to making Harry all sparkly he went into withdrawl when he wasn't physically with her. So I guess less like herpes and more like heroin.

      They tried to do the bare minimum on Enterprise and created the whole decontamination chamber thing which served almost no purpose other than satisfy the producer's sex predator tendencies by having the cast rub oil on each other.

      So like, they have to get all sorts of vaccines and other shit before being allowed to go out in space and a lot of it is assumed as vaccines at birth. In Voyager Harry Kim gets fucked up cause he has relations with a woman of alien race that wasn't cleared by the doctor. New species have to be checked out before you do that hanky panky. In Alpha quadrant they know of most the races and diseases so they can vaccine against it so it's not brought up. At least that's how I would assume one would reason all this. lol
