A member asked:
Can sexually transmitted diseases be transmitted by hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally no: Perhaps if you touched a herpetic lesion and then touched vaginal area tissues you could spread it, but this and other diseases would almost never be transmitted in this fashion. I would love to know what prompted this question.
