STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease.

If you are practicing abstinence you are not having sex so you can't get a STD except in rare circumstances (Hepatitis C or HIV can in extremely rare circumstances be transmitted by blood tranfusion; certain diseases classified as STDs may also be transmitted from mother to child in utero/during birth).
