could i be pregnant?

My boyfriend ejaculated and wiped his hands off on a towel but didn't wash his hands.  About 45 minutes later he fingered me.  Does sperm die at air contact and could i be pregnant?

Sperm can live for x amount of time in the air I think it's like an hour or so but I do know it can live for a while you might google it.  But anyways I doubt you are pregnant it's very unlikely but be more careful next time.
