Can hotel towels get sick if they are not clean?

For hotel guests, there are rumors that the public goods in the hotel are very unsanitary, especially the towels for bathing, which may be used by people with sexually transmitted diseases. If you use it, you will get sexually transmitted diseases, so everyone should stay away from these things. Is that really the case? Let's see if these items are clean. What are the chances of contracting sexually transmitted diseases?

As we all know, the main route of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases is direct transmission, and the probability of indirect transmission is very low, because most viruses have a short survival time after leaving the host. Even if there are some residual viruses, regular hotels will have strict disinfection measures. Furthermore, as long as your skin is not damaged and your body's resistance is normal, it is difficult for the virus to enter your body. After this layer of filtration, sexually transmitted diseases are basically impossible to enter your body.

Of course, if your luck is particularly bad, it happens that the towel has been used by people with sexually transmitted diseases, and it just happened that the towel was not cleaned, so it was put in your room in a short time. You happened to have poor resistance that day, you had a wound on your body, and you used that towel, so you are probably infected with the virus. Of course, this probability is quite low, and it is estimated that it is similar to the chance of winning the lottery.

So you don't have to worry about getting sexually transmitted diseases when staying in a hotel, but I suggest you take your own personal belongings such as towels and pajamas when you go out. What if you really won the lottery that day? Sexually transmitted diseases are difficult to treat. Maybe you will be infected once in your life. Many informal hotels have poor disinfection measures, and many public goods are not disinfected. I also suggest that you stay in a regular hotel. After all, your body is your own. If you don't love yourself, who will? Haha, you can tell me what you did when you stayed in a hotel. Have you ever used public goods?
