Can you get an std from getting fingered?

Yes: STD's are caused by bacteria or viruses that can live on moist surfaces for varying periods of time. If your partner has an STD and touched any bodily fluids of his that contained the infective organism, then touched you in your genital region, it is very possible that an infective organism could have been transferred to you. Watch for irritation, discharge, itching or odor. See a Dr for testing.

Potentially: If there are infectious materials on the fingers, that may transmit an infection if inserted in the vagina.

While making out with a guy, he licked his fingers and then touched my vagina/fingered me. We didnt do anything beyond that. How likely is it that I could contract an STD/STI this way? Should I get tested?
