To answer the question regarding health concerns from rimming:
Sure, any STD that can infect someone's anus can certainly be passed via rimming.
In addition, hepatitis is a concern, too. Hep is certainly an STD in its own special, adorable way.
General and bothersome (but not deadly) illnesses can also be passed via rimming. These would likely be a result of fecal coliform bacteria being passed from person to person. This can give you a nasty stomach ache for a few days -- or some nasty diarrhea. In an otherwise healthy individual, however, this isn't going to be a serious concern. It also isn't something that is guaranteed to happen -- some folks can be exposed to fecal coliform and do not ever get ill. Depends on the person's immune response, the strength and quantity of the bacteria, etc. Fecal coliform is everywhere -- swab some greenbacks and you'll find many things live there in addition to dead presidents. But most of the time it doesn't hurt us.
Naturally an STD needs to be present in order for it to be passed. Problem is (obviously) that we can't know who has got what. But EVERYONE has fecal bacteria -- so there's no avoiding this potential hazard. It's not a whole lot to worry about, but it's certainly worth KNOWING about.
