Anxiety or Reality?

I was diagnosed with anxiety before pregnancy.
I'm pregnant and a week later we (my husband and I) find out I'm pregnant I started to be scared with this idea - I know few males who doesn't wash their hands, and I'm scared maybe (I don't know) someone touched a door-handle and left there one long survivor semen (I read on the internet semen can live for couple of hours and not only few minutes) and then I touched it and then touched myself without washing hands and got myself pregnant by someone.. I feel terrible and I really don't know if it's the anxiety or reality.. I don't know what to do.. I told my husband that and he doesn't think that happened to me.. but I'm still so scared I will have my brother's baby.. any ideas? did anyone else had this kind of thought? could something like this can happen?

Your brother would not have masturbated into his hand and applied sperm to a doorknob, sperm would not survive on a doorknob no matter what the brilliant PhD sperm scientists who regularly write on the Internet say, you would not have touched a wet, sperm-coated doorknob and directly put your finger into your vagina, please leave your brother out of your fantasies if you can.

Thank you Annie for you informative reply, you really managed to make me feel calm. when I said "touching myself" I meant - masterbate (was it clear?) and think I did not wash my hands... why sperm would not survive on a door handle? when does it live few hours outside of the body?
Does my "clarification" change your answer?
No, it doesn't change the answer.
