... assuming at the time you're still a normal human.
Obviously you don't need to worry about anything from a contraception perspective but when it comes to potentially getting an STD it's a different story. Vampires have usually been around for a long time and appear to have quite high sex drives, also they suck blood on a daily basis (which mixes with theirs) meaning the chances of a Vampire not having an STD are very low.
However, we see in Angel that Darla had syphilis as a human which appeared to be cured when she was a Vampire. During her second stint as a human her disease returned, indicating that it was still there when she was a Vampire but just lay dormant. If we are to believe Vamps are not affected by but do carry STD's, would it be possible for us humans to catch any from them?
I don't believe it would be as Buffy clearly didn't use protection when swapping juices with Spike and didn't appear to catch anything and he would certainly have plenty. Despite this I would still use a condom with one just incase. The increase in pleasure wouldn't be worth the huge increase in risk for me.
