Detailed Answer:
Hello, and welcome to "Ask a Doctor".
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I understand your concern about this relationship but I think that the best way to find out the answer to these questions is to date with her and gradually to see her situation about her addiction.
Furthermore, before you have sexual intercourse I think that is normal to know and to ask about her situation related STD and I suggest to ask her as well to get tested together for STD.
Hope I have answered your query.

Hello and welcome in"Ask a Doctor".
I am sorry for my late response.
I think your concerns are valid related to STD.
You should know that it is not easy to find out if someone has STD without lab results, because most of the STD cannot have symptoms .
Some of STD can have skin elements like secondary syphilis, HSV 1 or 2, HPV.
The most common STD that you should care about are HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis or HSV 2.
