No worries: People can actually use scarves or shirt sleeves to cover one of their hands while grabbing door handles, in order to not get contagious germs onto their hands when leaving bathrooms. No worries.

If your hands are dry can there be a living STD on them? Say you ejaculate and some of the cum lands on your hands. You then wash & dry your hands. Can you still get a STD from eating with hands?
