Risk of STI/STDs???

Hi, I am hoping that I will get some help and opinions on the below situation and risks.
I had a very brief experience with a guy I know, but not sure about his sexual history. We were walking together after work. When we reached the station, I had to wait for the train. While waiting, we started kissing.  He then slid his hand inside my pants, under my underwear and inserted a finger in my vagina. I said “no” and he pulled it out immediately. So the contact has been only 2 seconds. I didn’t notice any warts/wounds/ cuts on his hands. We have not been naked, as we were outdoors. There is no skin-to-skin contact and not to mention any actual sex activity. Can you please let me know your thoughts – is there any risk of STIs in this situation? Thanks for all answers in advance.

It zero risk for all std. No std germs live on a finger. They are either inside the penis, mouth or genital areas.

How about warts? And again, why do many websites say you can get STD from fingering/manual contact? Thanks again.

Thank you for the quick reply! Does this apply to all STIs - I mean, do you think it is a zero risk for all STIs or just some? Can you please provide more detailed arguments to why there is a zero risk in what I've described? sorry to be a pain, just want to be 100% sure and understand why it's impossible to be infected in my situation. On many websites it says that it's possible to transmit STDs by fingering...

Thank you, this is what I thought but I needed some reassurance. What if he had touched himself before or not washed his hands when he'd been in the toilet? Can the viruses survive on hands or under fingernails?
