A member asked:
Please tell me, could stds be transmitted through sexual contact (i.e. hand jobs)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Transmission of an std via masturbation (self or with partner) with hands is highly unlikely. However, one could potentially transmit infections if there were any kind of rash or open sores on the hands. A herpetic lesion on the hand would be an example.
