A member asked:

Is regular hand sanitizer enough to kill std's off hands? the encounter was shaking someone's hand who had sex recently. (i used heaps of it?

I cannot think of any STD that could survive the sanitizing you did. Few if any would pass through a handshake even if you didn't. They call them STD's for a reason-sexual transmission.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
