What product will kill stds if the disease goes on your household items?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Air/heat/washing: Most STD germs are intolerant of the outside world & die in the air or when dry. They are labeled STD's because that is where the environment is that they can thrive. Simple hand washing and normal sanitizing efforts are more than enough to remove the chance of spread.
