Could I get an std from visiting an adult book store?
Could I get HIV or any STDs from using an adult bookstore? I went to two yesterday and just use the booth. There was no sexual contact between other people (anally or orally). I just wondering if I could get an STD or HIV by simply using the booth or chair that may or may not contain some cumstains in the adult store.

Nope, no risk. You have to have some sort of sexual contact to get an STD.

how about if I left the store and notice little cuts on my fingers and wonder if I could get STD/HIV without knowing it was there. I know that they couldn't live outside the body and I just wanna make sure since I know I don't know if I came into contact with some seminal fluid which might have dried out whose belong to the the person that use it before me.
No, again - you have to have sexual contact to get an STD. You didn't have cuts on your fingers or you'd have mentioned that in your first post.
What you have is anxiety and maybe guilt - I don't know your situation to say that, but you do. If fluids are dried, they don't transmit STDs, even if you had a gaping cut on your hand. (You didn't.)
Really, you're good, and can move on.
