HIV from used sex toys?

I bought a vagina toy (male masturbator) from an online store, It got shipped within 2 days, When i got it i figured out that it was a fake cheap toy that made in China. I used it anyway.
After that i got concerns about what if someone used it before me, or if it was returned by someone to the seller and shipped to me, Especially that the toy did not seem new when i got it.
I washed for about 20 seconds before i used it, And i have only used it once, How's my chances of getting STDs from it?

STD questions post in the STD forum.

As for HIV it is not a risk. Even if someone used it the possible virus would be inactive by the time you got it and washing it would have done the some thing.
