Fingering and stds

[trashwangg]

My boyfriend recently fingered me and it was amazing!! But I have a quick question can I get a std from getting fingered? My vagina isn’t itchy or numb or anything, but can I get a std from getting fingered?

I never learned that much about stds in school but we did have sex ed at one point by the way so i apologize if this question is dumb lol

Hi!

I thought your writing style looked familiar, and you're describing similar situation - now I've confirmed that you're writing from the same IP address for trashwangg, I can see you are the same person so I've moved this question over to that original account.

Going forward, please only use one account for interacting with us, so that we can keep track of our conversations with you. Can you also confirm if your trashwangg account has the correct age? Thanks!

Regarding the risk of infection from fingering, it depends on the infection, but for the most part STIs are simply called that because they mainly infect your genitals, and usually are more likely to be transmitted with genital+genital and genital+mouth contact, than hand+genital contact. However any kind of physical contact with another person has a risk of passing infections between you, that's why we learn to wash our hands at a young age as a way of reducing that risk.

Whether or not it would be classified as an STI or not, is down to the individual infection, but a person can certainly pass infections through fingering, you can reduce that risk, but it is never fully gone.
