Is STD Transmission Possible Through Inanimate Objects?

Hi. I went to a massage place just now, it turned out that the place is sketchy. She asked me to undress to underwear and she gave me a massage (without touching my genitals). No oral sex, no hand job, no intercourse. Just her hand massaging my body with my underwear on. Is it possible to get any kind of STD this way? I m worried that she or previous customers may have STD, and she may not wash her hand and perhaps the towel on the bed where I lie on is dirty (semen, blood, virus etc)?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern. As you said there where intimate contacts, so there is no chance of sexually transmitted disease.

If you didn't had any bruises, cuts or ulcers on your body there is no chances of Transmission. Because most of these pathogens doesn't service outside the living body too long so while using the reusables will not affect the other customers health.

In any case if you have any symptoms for anything, like any bump, itching etc you need to get it evaluated as soon as possible. Diseases like HIV or HEPATITIS Doesn't spread like these manners. So you don't need to worry according to my opinion.

Hope the answer to your query and in case any further help write to us. We will be happy to help.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer.
