Scary of getting Syphilis, HPV and other STDs

Sincerely need your guys help

I went to hospital yesterday to check some symptoms that appears on my penis (nothing was wrong regards to the symptoms), before I got into the right consulting room, I accidentally went into the place where is only for HIV and Syphilis infected patients. I stayed there for about 10 mins until a person told me that I was at the wrong place

I touched the desk and some unknowed places at this infected place. When I got to the right room for my consultation, the doctor asked me to open the urethra to do the test of Mycoplasma, I did so without washing my hands.

I am so scare now if I was exposed to any of STD infection such as Herpes, Syphilis, HPV, HIV and so on. Can any of virus went into my body through my hands and Urethra??

Can anyone please help me clam down, I am so needed, and appreciated for your help.

Hi, all these infections you mention are not like the Bubonic plague where things are air borne other wise the room would have be in isolation. These infections you mention cannot be transmitted like your mentioning so you had zero risk for any of them.

Hello Dave, thanks for answering my concerns. But my concerned is I actually touched my penis with my hands, would this be an indirect contact infection?? And I was doing the test which the doctor was taking secreta from my urethra, and I was using my unwashed hands to help the doctor. I am afraid there are some virus leaked into my body through the test

BTW, These happened in China
you cannot contract by indirect like your mentioning. it does not leak into a body
Thank you Dave, Thank you so much, I really need to clam myself to sleep better, you help a lot.
