Trichomonaisis Transmission

I know I'm probably being paranoid, but what are the chances that trichomonaisis can be transmitted as a result of a hand job after protected sex.  If a girl removed the condom which had the protozoa on it from the intercouse and then proceeded to give a man a hand job, could the disease be transmitted to the man?  If so, what are the chances?

Zero.  No STDs are transmitted by manual contact with the genitals, including trichomoniasis.
