Hsv1 and hsv2H and other stds

I stayed at a nice hotel I spryed lysol on the bathroom doorknob. But is there any risk of catching anything if I touched the doorknob then masturbated after I masturbated I did it to rough there was a spot where it looked like a lil bit of skin came off I'm getting a lil scared that I caught something from this

Agreed. If it were this easy to catch, everyone would have it. You get herpes from skin to skin contact, not door knobs. The lysol may have helped you prevent getting the flu or a cold, but it won't do a thing to help you prevent STDs. Those actually require sexual contact with another person.

Are you asking if you got herpes 1, 2 or an std from the doorknob?  No.  Keep it real here and don't give in to irrational fear.
