A member asked:
When my aunt takes the clothes out of the washing machine, she puts them on the floor of the kitchen (which we go in with our shoes) and then hangs them outside for them to dry. could i catch anything? or an std? especially from the underwear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You cannot get STD with what is on the floor- specially when they are just out of the machine. Best policy is to take off street shoes at the ntrance and wear other shoes/slippers inside the house as rule for every one entering
