my sisters think that they both have stds. i took all of my towels and bleached them after every use. i sanitise the toilet seat before i use it and i only use flushable wipes, not the same toilet paper they use. i lock up my clothes so they cannot get to them and i am afraid of using the same washing machiene so i hav been going to the laundry mat. my sisters are 15 and 16 and they are so unresponsible. should i keep this routine going? or is there nothing to worry about? they got tested as negative, but they decided to go out this weekend and have sex with multiple parteners. what should i do? (besides try to talk to them, they have a shrink and i have already tried)

You are a little over precaucious. The only thing I would worry about is molluscum contageousum (sp?). It's not deadly, but a pesky little virus that is easily spreadable hence it having the word contageous in it's name. They are little pimple like bumps that have a hard white core that you have to get out before that particular bump will go away. It spreads around your genitiles and buttocks for a few years before it goes dormant. Sharing towels, sheets or anything that may touch their genitiles could spread the virus if not killed through washing. As long as you use your own towels and sheets, you should be fine. That's also a danger of using hotel towels. If they don't clean them properly, you could get it there, too. Throwing in the recommended amt of bleach per load should suffice. I'm quite particular about toilet seats, but I'd buy those clorox wipes and wipe the toilet seat down before using it, letting it dry first of course. If the toilet paper is still wound up on the roll, what's the difference between sharing it w/ them and going to a public toilet and using that toilet paper on a roll? You don't have anything to worry about there. There's no reason to go to the laundromat to do your laundromat. You are freaking yourself out so bad that you are going to be very uptight about sex, which is not a bad thing, but being responsible minded should be enough. You shouldn't have to be so uptight about it. Just get your answers for peace of mind and trust in the answers you receive to make good decisions.

It sounds like you are very responsible and like your sisters need your parents to step up and parent them!! You can get some STD's from toilet seats, clothing that an infected person has worn, wash cloths and towels that they have used and haven't been washed, etc. The main one that I know about is a parasite called Trichamonas. It is a parasite that crawls inside your urethra. I am not sure how long HSV (Herpes) lives off the body but I wouldn't chance it. You need to tell your parents about your sisters and if that doesn't work then maybe another trusted adult can talk them. I just can't imagine why they are given so much freedom to put themselves (and you) at this kind of risk. I am proud of you the you recognize their irresponsible behavior and it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders! Keep it up and good luck!! :)

Good grief. STD means Sexually Transmitted Disease. You get it by having sex. Granted, some parasites, like crabs can live on toilet seats and clothing. If your sisters really did get tested, and tested negative, then they don't have anything of the sort, and you have no reason at all to be so wound up about it, and really, you are too wound up about it. Frankly, it sounds like your sisters are screwing around with you, and playing cat and mouse with your fears. It also sounds as though they are getting a good deal of amusement out of watching you go a little over board about it. You need to get some confidence, and tell them to take a flying leap.
Instead of talking to your sisters about it, talk to your parents, and if your parents are part of the problem, talk to a trusted adult, like a teacher, pastor, or guidance counselor.

No. Otherwise, they would not be called STD's. They are sexually transmitted. Sounds to me like your sister's are pulling one over on you.
I do know you can get crabs or body lice from clothing.

YOU CAN NOT GET AN STD BT THOSE WAYS. IF HER BODILY FLUIIDS COME IN CONTACT WITH YOU ON YOUR VAGINA;PENIS THEN YES. WHICH I HOPE THEY DONT, THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
