None whatsoever.
no
MD is a genetic disease, so there can be NO transfer to the male partner who has insertive/penetrant intercourse. Transfer to an offspring if this lady becomes pregnant depends on the genotype.
If I interpret well the abbreviation "MD" as "Muscular Dystrophy", it can't be contagious. The disease involves genes, responsible for protein production. Without proper protein production, muscles become unhealthy. This is the basic nature of the disease. It can't be transmitted by physical contact. Hope it helps,

No but protection is needed
Don't worry. MD is not infectious.
