STD question
Doctor,
I ordered the Rose vibrator on Amazon. The package was sealed. But when I opened it there was an area that looked like it had been touched & a small scratch on it. I thought maybe I had touched that area when I opened it or something. I cleaned it with dial antibacterial soap & warm water (probably not good enough) and used it, hoping it wasn’t used.
After I used it I got really scared that it was possibly a used sex toy. Now I’m afraid for my life. I’m scared it could have had hepatitis or something on it, God forbid.

You sound to suffer a whole lot of anxiety that maybe leans toward irrational. That is a treatable condition. You had no risk at all from an unopened sex toy or sex toy in general. It was in new packaging, it wasn't used. It is your anxiety that is trying to make you question that. And you do not get std's from sex toys even if it was used.
