A member asked:
If your hands are dry can there be a living std on them? say you ejaculate and some of the cum lands on your hands. you then wash & dry your hands. can you still get a std from eating with hands?

STDs: Nope. Not in the way that you describe. But, remember there are twelve common stds. Five of them are potentially fatal. Do you know them all and how to either prevent or vaccinate for?

Unlikely: Good hand washing as you describe should be protective for you. In that case the route of possible transmission of an std would not be via your hands. I can't make promises about other sites, however.
