Is It Possible To Get Infected If I Lay Naked On A Dirty Table?

Hi. I got a massage today and the place was filthy. I was completey naked. No sex or touching of my area was done. But I am concerned that me laying on this table I could catch something. Is it possible for me to catch something just from laying on a dirty table. After I left I kinda suspect that non of the towels were clean.

Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
Sexually transmitted diseases as are called with this nomination, are transmitted only in close sexual interactions. So in these relations must be two partners and one of them must be infected.
Theoretically there are chances for an infection (virus or bacteria) to pass in the genital organs of men or women in contact with contaminated layers or other tools, like shower cabins, towels etc, but practically these cases are very rare. You say you didn't have any contact of your genitals with the dirty table. I wouldn't be worried in your case, just wash yourself to get rid of suspicions and relax. You are going to be alright!
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
