prevent spreading std to close people

Hello there, I posted about this an hour ago and i don't know why it got removed. First, I am worried about the possibility of infecting family members and close friend (not through sex obviously) through interacting with them and living with my family there are a lot of shared things like plates, spoons, toilet, etc.....
Is it possible for STDs like herpes and hepatitis b to transmit? for example i woke up today with a stain of semen on my pants and i just leave it in the laundry basket with others family members clothes? and if my mother wants to do the laundry and got in contact with my pants would she be infected?
please help
