What are my chances of getting infected with HIV this way?

The female rubs her vagina with a napkin and then after about 5 minutes or so the male rubs the opening of his penis with the same napkin after ejaculating. The males realizes that the woman had used that same napkin so it was a quick wipe of the opening of the penis and only once.

I'm no biologist or bonafide physician but I definitely know that bacteria and virus do not react well with the exposed environment i.e., wherever you are: indoors, outdoors, your place, public place, etc. In fact, in a few minutes, they often die out since there is no life being available to them. A napkin is just a graveyard for bacteria to linger on for a while until it dies off. However, it is likely impossible for someone to contract a std from a napkin containing vaginal fluids or residue. Even if the urethra of the penis is exposed to the fluids, it would have to take a large quantity of it to be risk for you.
