She touched her vagina while on her period then touched me

I recently had a prostitute briefly grabbed my penis at the tip, after she touched her vagina. She said she was on her period and may have just put a tampon on. I didn't see any blood on her hands but lets say she did have blood or residue on her hands would that be means or transmission considering exposure is through mucus membrane contact from the urethra?

You need active viral shedding as well as heat and friction to be infected with the virus.  Hand to genital contact is incredibly low risk for transmission.

it's still incredibly unlikely to happen.  Not like there would be a heck of a lot of virus on the fingers in the first place anyways plus I should hope that anyone would wash their hands after inserting a tampon!
