Not alone: Not unless you use something to masturbate with that someone else used who did have a infection.

No, unless: There is no reason why anyone should get a sexual illness from masturbating. The unless would be by inserting dildo or similar device contaminated by someone with genital warts, chlamydia, gonoccocus etc.
