Hello. About 6 Days I Went To A Strip Club

Posted on Fri, 29 Mar 2019

Question: Hello. About 6 days I went to a strip club for the first time and got lap dance in a private room.I was fully clothed with jeans and t shirt. The dancer was topless and had a thong on. The only skin to skin contact made during the lap dance was her breast to my face and my hands to her body. My hands never came in to contact with her genitals and my t -shirt and jeans were on at all times.

I’ve had anxiety about this every waking minute because I’m married and feel I’ve made a big mistake. I need to know if I’m at risk for ANY std’s.

Brief Answer:
Nil risk of STDs from this particular incident

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

STIs including HIV are only transmitted through direct sexual contact that involves contact with either infected genital secretions or genital surfaces as during a sexual intercourse. Skin to skin contact is safe as skin is not a source of sexually transmitted infections. So don't worry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
