What Are The Chances Of STD Transmission Through Contact With Inanimate Objects?
Hello doctor, I have done a greatest mistake..and i am now in fear of (STDS) sexually transmitted diseases. I Was in no help but to mastrubate after a long time,and i do not know why i had a thought of it, doing this bizzare way.I dipped my sock s in water,which was covered with my sweat.exposing my penis head into the sock s i mastrubated..My fear is whether the sweat bacteria in the socks could have Made (STds) for me.

Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
STD's are only passed on by sexual contact (whether vaginal, anal Or oral) with an Infected sexual partner or rarely STD's can be transmitted through inanimate objects like Sexual toys, if these toys are being shared between an infected sexual partner and subsequently by someone else.
One cannot get an STD by masturbation, therefore, you cannot get STD's from your own socks even if they were sweaty.
Regards
