A member asked:
If someone has an std and they touch themself then touch yours can you get the std?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on where: It depends on where one touches and what is touched. If one touches a mucous membrane such as the mouth to vagina then a STD can easily be transmitted including mouth to penis.
