A member asked:

How do you catch a std from sharing clothes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difficult: Pubic lice can be spread by clothing or bedding. O/w unless you put on underwear or bathing suit when it is moist right after someone with infection wore it, then close to impossible.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
