Genital discharge: This is an unusual diagnosis. Staph rarely causes genital discharge (vaginal or urethral). But even if staph is the true cause, there is no problem in washing your clothing with others' clothes. Even sharing beds, toilets, showers, etc is no risk to them; just use common sense hygiene (hand washing etc). But also discuss other possibilities with your doctor. Were you tested for STDs?
