A member asked:
Hi i was wondering if its possible to get an std if someone touches their genitals then my phone and then later if i touched my face after touching the phone? assuming the person is sick with something?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is called a STD for a reason, it is passed during sexual activity. I can think of no STD that would transfer in the manner you describe.
