Sources of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) By Dr. Sammy Lau
The question of whether STIs can be transmitted through hotel towels, public toilet seats, or shared hot springs may already be a concern for many people. Generally, STIs are transmitted through sexual activity or contact. Dr. Sammy Lau, a dermatologist and specialist in STIs, points out that it is not easy to contract an STI from shared objects unless there is brief contact with an infected individual. Therefore, it is unlikely for towels, toilet seats, or hot springs to transmit STIs.
