Q: if someone fingered you can you can an std? if you finger someone and then put a tampon in right after before washing your hands, can you get an std?

: I consider this an unlikely way to get a STD. The germs involved generally travel in the secretions or mucus involved in the sexual activity. They do not survive long outside their supportive environment on fingers/objects. That said, whatever is on the fingers might cause an infection.
