Fingering std risk

Is there any risk of getting an std as a female from getting fingered if the person doing so has dirty hands or cum on his fingers?

Also, I am nervous about something that happened to me earlier today. I went to the mall to get my cellphone fixed and the man who fixed it for me had sores on his face that he touched, I took the cell phone back from him and used it several times. Then I went to the bathroom right after using the phone and wiped myself. I didn't think to wash my hands first and when I was wiping myself my hand touched my vagina. Could I have put myself at risk if I picked up something from my cellphone and transferred it? I know this sounds far fetched, but I am worried. Thanks in advance.

Oh, I meant, that you can catch cold/flu type of things with his hand washing routine.  You're not going to get an STD from that.

will you get std's from mutual masturbation? no you will not.

do you need to worry about the cell phone incident? no you do not.    his washing his hands after using the bathroom actually has nothing to do with your risk.  you were more at risk for cold and flu germs from touching the counter at the store than you were catching anything he had on his face in this manner.

What do you think could be caught by that if he didn't wash his hands?

His handwashing routine. That's the biggest risk of catching anything.

Why should I be worried about his bathroom habits?

There's a chance of catching an STD from a finger, though very small.  Your biggest chance is of catching bacterial vaginosis from dirty fingers.  Just pay attention to any symptoms you might have and if you're still worried, make an appt to see a dr.  

As far as catching something from the phone.  I don't know what kind of sores he had on his face, but, if it was bad acne, you could spread the oil to your own face.  I'd be more worried about his bathroom habits.  

I'm not a medical professional, so, hopefully one will be able to answer your question with statistics.
