Can you get an std from underwear?
First of all, I have anxiety and know I worry too much. I'm hoping for some reassurance but I recently ordered some underwear from Amazon on a Thursday and received them on a Tuesday. I tried the underwear on and wore them around for a little bit before washing them. After taking them off I noticed a little white stain or mark inside the underwear (assuming from someone else's penis.) Is there any risk for any stds if my penis came in contact with the white stains?? The underwear were in transit for 4 days. Could any std live this long on a bodily fluid on clothes?

Hi, you cant contact any std from what you describe. Not possible at all.
Hello~If the underwear you ordered was not "used" and it probably was as Amazon does not sell "Used" products, then the stain was probably already there but you did not notice it. As to contracting an STD that way, very unlikely, unless it just happened an hour or so ago before your wearing them. I wouldn't worry, your health anxiety is just acting up, I can relate, I have it as well.
