A member asked:
Can you get clamydia from checking someone's cervix, washing your hands, and then checking your own? then it was done to me in exact order.

No: Washing hands in between this somewhat low risk activity is the key. Going forward, there are many ways to protect yourself with latex...dental dams, gloves, condoms (even on toys). Be sure to get routine STD testing to take care of your sexual health.
