Stupid question just worried

So I was at lunch today and I had "stomach issues" and proceeded to the rest room. After I had completed my business I noticed there was no toilet paper or paper towels in the bathroom so i proceeded to use "used" paper towels to wipe my anus. I was wondering in a worst case scenario and there was semen on the paper towel what are the chances of infection?

Certain countries provide water taps in public toilet so that people can rinse the toilet seat.

Teak,

Thank you I knew it was a somewhat dumb question just wanted to reassure myself there is no way HIV could be transferred that way. I think I was just nervous cause it was close to my anus.
