STD Question

[lorelailuv]

My school is doing a blood drive tomorrow and I want to donate but I'm worried about the possibility of having an STD. I've never had sex (or oral or anything) but I've used vibrators before and I'm paranoid I could've gotten an STD from it. They were only used by me but I'm worried since one of them I used was from amazon, like what if they sent me a used return from someone else? Anyway, how likely is it that I may have contracted an STD and should I avoid donating blood?

Hi there lorelailuv!

In your previous posts we discussed with you why we think it’s highly unlikely you could have gotten an infection from that. You can reread them to see if it helps to calm some of the worries. Also, if it helps you relax, all blood donors and samples are tested for many things including STDs before the blood is in any way used. So if you don’t have symptoms of any infection, meet other requirements and want to donate, there is no reason why you couldn’t. And I think it’s amazing that you want to help people and the healthcare system in this way!
How does that sound?

That sounds great, thank you for clearing things up for me🩷
