Contacting STDs though fingers

This has been on my mind constantly since it happened.  Over a year ago, at my bachlor party, we hired some dancers.  The one that was dancing for me at one point inserted her finger into her vaginal area.  After which, she stuck it (finger) in my mouth.  About 4 days after this, I had a mild cold, no fever, rashes or anything else out of the ordinary.  I am concerned about the possibilies of having an STD transfered to me in this manner.  Any help would ease my mind.

Thank you

There is zero risk of STD by that exposure.

Good luck-- HHH, MD
