It is highly unlikely to contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD) from shaking hands with an infected person. STDs are typically spread through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. However, some STDs can also be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact or sharing of personal items such as towels or razors.
