How to minimize risk from skin STD's?

Mabye I should STI , not STD? Or maybe its both? Please help here with the correct terms.
Also, please identify what are the most common STI's and/or STD's one can get from only skin to skin contact (e.g. hand job and full body massage).
For the top 3 STI's and/or STD's, what are the home remedies where you go to the drug store, buy something, put it on and the problem goes away in 1 or 2 weeks?
These questions are intended to help develop a picture of what are the risks of obtaining skin to skin contact services from those who do this ?10 x per day, what the main infections/diseases are, and how simple or long term the results might be.
Thanks for your help.

What actions can one take to minimize risk from STD's transmitted by skin to skin contact? Wash with an anti-bacterial soap, after? Wash with rubbing alcohol, or?
Thanks
Hi Roy12
STI is the term we use today and it stands for Sexually Transmitted Infection. Other terms that have been used in the past are STD (sexually transmitted disease) and VD (Venereal Disease). They all mean the same thing: infections that are spread by having sex.
I have not been able to find any research or evidence that shows that washing reduces your chances of aquiring an STI. It has been shown that virus’s such as HIV and herpes are generally inactivated with washing with soap and water so it would not be harmful if someone did wash with soap and water. With that said, I would like to stress that there is no evidence that washing after sex will reduce your chance of getting an STI.
There are situation where washing might increase your risk of STI. I have seen people that have come to the clinic with broken skin from excessive washing, using strong chemicals or chemicals that are not supposed to be used on the skin. This breakdown in the first protective layer of skin could increase your risk if you came in contact with infected fluids. Douching (washing out the vagina) has also been shown to increase risk for certain STI’s. Some solutions can disrupt the natural environment in the vagina which may increase the risk for STI’s. I have found a research study that shows an increased risk of HIV for woman who douche.
It may be possible to spread scabies or molluscum contagiosum with skin-to-skin contact. These are not really STI’s but they are conditions that are spread by skin-to-skin contact.
Here is a link for some basic information on scabies and molluscum
