One example of an STD causing bacterium is Haemophilus ducreyi. It is transmitted sexually. Your question is what would happen if someone were to cover your arm with this bacterium? Absolutely nothing. The reason is that this bacterium requires special nutrients to stay alive. Even in the lab, we cannot grow this bacterium on standard agar, but rather a special one called chocolate agar with factor V and factor X. Likewise, while this bacterium thrives in your genital area, it cannot sustain itself on your skin. There are simply no nutrients for it. It dies. This is why sexual contact is needed, so that the bacterium can go from one hospitable environment to another, without being exposed to the outside environment where it will die.
The same concept holds true for all STD's.
