A member asked:

Can you get a std from your vaginal area touching a possibly dirty comforter/cover . we had sex in a hotel not sure how clean covers were.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Most of the germs we consider a cause of STI's will not live for any extended period outside of moist environment provided by the body.Some STD germs could end up on such surfaces, but once they dry out they die.
