A member asked:

Lets say u have some bad vaginal infection u or ur partner.u had sex on a sofa. can anyone catch somethin after that sit on the same sofa?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nope: This would be pretty rare. Usually there needs to be skin to skin contact or fluid exchange or contact to "get" and STD. It wouldn't hurt to clean the couch though prior to using.
