Can you get the std "trich" from a dirty instrument at the gynecologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Yes": Theoretically, if you were examined with a "contaminated" instrument, then, " yes" you could contract any "sexually-transmit table disease. Obviously, either by error or "intent" this would not be a prudent or appropriate practice, and would be a violation of the standard of care.
