Yes: Anyone can be exposed to a sexually transmitted infection. Women who partner with women can still be exposed to viruses like hpv, HSV and some bacterial infections as well. To minimize exposure, was and disinfect any toys and use barriers like gloves, dental dams, fingercots or condoms with your partner(s).
