I made a mistake and dried off with a used towel thats been dried out. can i get an std from that towel?

I am not aware of any STD germ that can survive drying and infect someone the way you describe. Like you, they require a favorable environment to survive. Drying kills those that could pass by such contact.

STD transmission is not possible in above described scenario. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding information regarding STD transmission.
