The only STDs reliably prevented through condoms are probably HIV and trichomoniasis.

You can get all of the following (probably 99% of all relevant STD cases recruit from those) via kissing (and blowjobs) alone:

Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, urea/myco-plasma, crabs, HPV, HSV, several borderline-STD bacteria like H. parainfluenca.
