A wound will not cause cancer or a STD. A wound can make it easier to catch an STD if you have sex with someone who's infected. A vaginal wound that doesn't heal promptly may also be a symptom of cancer.

Most well known STD that can cause cancer is HPV, which can cause cervical, oral, throat, rectal cancers, any maybe more. Hepatitis B and C can also cause liver cancers, but these are more commonly passed via blood and mother-fetus than sexually. HIV can also lead to a number of cancers once it reaches AIDS status like lymphoma and Kaposi sarcoma
