Hand to vagina. Infection probabilities?

Hi,

I went to bath and I touched my penis (only the glans, no fluids or something like this) when I was peeing, and after 10 minutes I touched my girlfriend's vagina, putting my fingers inside her, but barely and for a very short time.

If I were infected with any STD (I'm not concerned about HIV because is a very fragile virus), different from candida albicans, herpes or HPV, is there any chance of infection because of this action? I know that theoretically a germ transfer could happen, but for example, if I had gonorrhea or ureaplasma (which only live in the urethral tract), could this be possible only touching the external part of my penis?

Thank you for your answers.

I think it technically would be possible but that notion is wildly unrealistic and just doesn't happen.

Sexual infections are simply never spread via the hands, even with the exchange of fluids or secretions. The skin on the hands acts differently to the skin on the genitals. The organisms do not survive in the open atmosphere. And the reason I use the word wildly is that yes, I suppose in theory it can be said to be possible however it never ever happens in real life. And so worrying about it would be a waste of your time!

Yeah, I know this point, but I'm asking why you think this is "wildly" unrealistic. I'm the kind of person that needs rational explanations.

Thank you so much.
