Yes, your sex toys can be infected with an STD. 9 out 10,
you will need to throw them out and get new toys.
If the sex toys in question are made of 100% medical grade silicone, stainless steel, or glass/Pyrex.... OR you used a condom with your toys, then you most likely do not need to throw them out. If you are unsure about the materials used to make your toy, then err on the side of caution and dump the toys.
100% medical grade silicone, stainless steel, and Pyrex are the only truly nonporous sex toy materials; they can be disinfected and/or sterilized easily. I highly recommend using 100% medical silicone, it can be sterilized in boiling water or the top rack of dishwasher (no detergent) if there are no mechanical/electric elements in the toy (or those elements can be removed-
A lot of companies pretend their products are made of 100% medical grade silicone, but in fact they are only partly composed of silicone, the rest is a mishmash of Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR). There are several companies I trust to provide the safest, cleanest silicone: Tantus Inc, Vixen Creations, Happy Valley, Downunder Toys, Lelo, Fun Factory, Jollies LLC, Soju, and Whipspider Rubberworks.
As for safe stainless steel… the highest quality (and most stylish) stainless steel toys I have seen are made by Njoy and Jimmyjane.
There are many companies that produce high-quality glass toys. The most famous is Phallix, but other good companies are PyreXions, Xhale Enterprises, and Don Wands.
In contrast to the nonporous properties of 100% medical grade silicone, stainless steel, and Pyrex, most other materials have some degree of porosity (like pores in your skin) and will be able to hold onto to bacteria from body fluids and airborne (or other) sources.
Most sex toys are made of a mystery rubber called Jelly (usually composed of PVC, PETE, or PU) that is extremely porous; that is why you can usually see them "sweating" and they tend to have strong odors from plastic softening agents (like Phthalates). These toys- as well as any toy not made of 100% medical grade silicone, stainless steel, or Pyrex- should only be used with condoms.
You should clean your toys before and after use with antibacterial soap and warm water (like soft soap or dial), even if you use the toys with a condom. Most toy cleaners are a rip off, because they are essentially the same as antibacterial hand soap; though Afterglow Wipes are very convenient for their portability
