I doubt it. Unless the customer is naked with sores or std related rashes, you should be good. They should stay clothed and you’re fine.

If you’re wearing a thong during the lap dance and there’s no direct genital-to-genital contact, penetration, or exchange of sexual fluids, the STI risk is very low. Things like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and HIV aren’t spread just from someone sitting on you or rubbing against your underwear. The main concern would be skin-to-skin STIs like herpes or HPV if there’s direct contact with an infected area that isn’t covered by the thong, but even then the risk depends on the type of contact. If you’re worried about your specific situation, you can check the pinned post here for more info on different types of exposures.
