What are the chances of catching stds from a wet bloody tissue in public toilet? i washed my hands straight away with soap and dettol wipes.

Almost Impossible: If you picked up the bloody tissue with your bare hands and then washed them afterwards with soap and water AND you do not have a fresh cut or a wound on your hand, then you will not catch anything. You are safe. Do not worry.

If your hands are dry can there be a living STD on them? Say you ejaculate and some of the cum lands on your hands. You then wash & dry your hands. Can you still get a STD from eating with hands?
