A member asked:
I have an extreme anxiety over stds so if i touched somebody (their chest area) and immediately washed my hands, i should be good right?

They call some infections "sexually transmitted" for good reason. Zero risk for all STDs from this sort of contact, even if you hadn't washed.

You are right about having extreme anxiety and that will need to be addressed with the help of your primary care doc. No risk of getting STDs from touching people, keeping hands clean always a good habit.

I unwrapped the roll of dry toilet paper and inside was a condom. Let's assume that the sperm was wiped with that paper. I immediately washed my hands. Afterwards I touched the eye. What is the possibility of getting HIV and other STDs?
