A member asked:
Hello. is there any risk of diseases/virus/std/bacteria from buying second hand clothing online such as dresses, pants and tops? (not buying undergarments) thank you so much doctors?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No, they all should be fine for use (not a source of disease transmission) after washing with detergent and drying.

Not a source for transmitting diseases, specifically if washed and dried properly prior to wearing. STD’s are not transmitted through inanimate surfaces, check cdc.gov for reliable information.

Second hand clothing is not a risk for transmission of infection. It would be a good idea to wash or dry clean the garments before wearing.
