I've read that genital to genital contact is necessary for you to contract stds, but I do not know whether or not you contract stds if you have their secretions on your genitals by hand to genital contact. Is my situation something that warrants an immediate std testing? How long should I wait to get tested or am I just being paranoid about the whole situation??
You are over thinking what you did. You can not get an STD from masterbation (masturbation) even if you has vaginal fluids on your hand/her hand.
The only thing you could get with the use of a condom would be syphilis and herpes. But the condom greatly reduces the chance of either of them and if you didn't see anything on her vagina then you have no worries. And don't try to think back because I can almost guarantee that your mind will play tricks on you and you will think that she had some bumps which she probably didn't.
You do not need testing because you had protected sex. Just remember the experience as a fun one and don't worry about an STD.
