Can I get STD/STI?
Hello, I am from China. Forgive my poor English. Two weeks ago, I did a ridiculous thing. I went to an Adult Experience Center where everyone can pay money to have a sex with a sex doll. I did not know whether I used the condom correctly. The shopkeeper promised that he would disinfect to each dolls after using but I suspect about this. I think this mean sharing sex toys . And I am very worrid about syphilis. So I have sought about the answer on Google, but most theories say that syphilis can infect by sharing sex toys. I am so anxious. Whether I will get any STD/STI, especially syphilis? And whether syphilis can infect by sharin sex doll?

How long in between you and the previous person using the sex dolls? Do you know?
Sex toys can transmit STIs, but usually, it's because the toy has been used on one partner and then immediately used on the other partner.
Once the germ is exposed to air, it starts to die and it's very, very hard to infect someone via surfaces after even just a few moments.
Unless the previous person was right in front of you, and you went immediately after him - within seconds - you had no risk of anything.
Also, syphilis is uncommon in most developed countries. I wouldn't worry about that at all.
If the condom covered your penis, didn't come off or rip, you used it just fine.
Here are steps to use a condom correctly:
To use an external condom correctly, follow these steps:
- Carefully open the foil packaging the condom is wrapped in, taking care not to tear the condom.
- Hold the tip of the condom between your finger and thumb to make sure it's put on the right way around and no air is trapped inside (the condom may split if air is trapped inside).
- Place the condom over the tip of your penis.
- While squeezing the tip of the condom, roll it down over the length of your erect penis.
- If the condom will not unroll, it's probably on inside out – start again with a new condom as there may be semen or sperm on it.
- Make sure that the condom stays in place while you're having sex. If it comes off, stop and put on a new one.
After ejaculation (when you've come) and while your penis is still hard, hold the condom in place and carefully withdraw your penis from your partner's body.
You should only take the condom off your penis when there's no further contact with your partner's body.
Wrap the used condom in a tissue and put it in the trash bin. You should never flush condoms down the toilet as they may block the toilet and can cause environmental damage.

Thanks for your reply! Maybe 5 to 10 mins in the between. I am not sure about that, but at least 5 mins. So can I think that I am safe?
And last question I want to ask, Is the syphilis virus lost its infectivty immediately when it leaves the body? In China, there are lots of people worried that we would infect by it in our daily life.
Maybe I am too verbose. But after seeking so many different theories, I am very curious about that.
Looking forward to your reply!

Oh at 5-10 min, you're definitely safe.
Syphilis requires direct contact with a syphilis sore to even transmit, so transmission on a surface is almost impossible. It takes direct skin to skin contact with a sore - and skin to skin is mouth or genital/anal.
The syphilis bacteria requires very specific conditions to transmit, and starts losing its infectivity as soon as it leaves the body. It starts degrading and dying, as do all STDs.
Really, you don't need to worry about this at all. If it were me, I wouldn't give it another thought.

Thanks! Maybe I am too suspicous and anxious about whether I will get STD/STI. I will try my best to focus on my life and forget about this. Thanks for your help!(›´ω`‹ )
You're welcome. :)
