I am thinking of visiting the strip club. I am afraid of contracting Monkeypox from either touching her body or her touching mine. Is this a legitimate concern or am I overthinking? 

There have been few if any reports of monkeypox infection in women, or being transferred in strip clubs or similar environments. Virtually all cases continue to occur in men having sex with other men -- usually those with multiple partners. In theory MPX virus could be transmitted by hand-genital or genital-genital contact of the sort that can occur in strip clubs, but to my knowledge it has not happened and you're not likely to be the first case! I really don't think you should be worried about it.

I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

You're exactly right with "I don't believe I am at risk". They call certain infections sexually transmitted for good reason. This event certainly had sexual elements (that's what strip clubs are all about), but you did not have sex. There is no chance of any STD from these events. Contact with breasts and nipples of course is risk free -- no more chance of infection than shaking hands. That is, zero.

I would like to follow up on the micro cuts/burns on my hands from moving furniture.

I am curious on the risk factor for getting common warts from touching her (not the HPV strain for the genitals, I know that isn't possible). I grabbed her buttocks, breasts, and briefly held her hand. I've read micro cuts can catch the virus.

That completes the two follow-up exchanges included with each question and concludes this thread. I hope the discussion has been helpful. Best wishes.
