STD / STI Risk in shared house

I know some will judge me for this but I am just after answers please. I have a sexless marriage which is enormously damaging for my mental health. I just want to be touched. Everything else is OK, my wife just decided over a few years that we'd stop having any kind of sex and if I try and talk about it then it's as if I have a problem. I travel for work a lot and have found an independent, expensive escort. From her profile she has had around 200 clients in the past 18 months, is very health conscious with diet and exercise, tests for STIs every month, only has protected sex including fellatio, the only exception being cunnilingus which may or may not happen. It feels low health risk to see her and I'd get tested after anyway, but what are the risks for my wife of shared bed, towels, cooking utensils and laundry between seeing the escort and getting tested? While it hurts she won't talk about her decision I'd go without sex I don't want me finally after 6 years cracking to put her at risk. Thank you.

Well, I guess all marriages work their own way although this could damage things permanently between you and your wife emotionally. But in terms of getting an std from you around the house? No. That doesn't happen. They are sexually transmitted diseases. Need sex to happen to transmit.
