thoritically yes but practically no. i mean many of the bugs causing an std are surviving outside the body on wet environments for at least a short while. but with modern bathing systems we have now a days it is highly unlikely to get std just becuase a person with std uses the tub before we do. just clean up the tub before use. no additional steps need to be taken if you are suspicious of a std case. i hope this helps.
i am a MD

Well, I suppose it's possible. If the STD virus was in the water, and you had some open cut on yourself, then you could.
