Risk HIV or STDs (especially genital warts)

When I went to the bathroom of the karaoke bar, I dropped the antibacterial spray bottle cap on the ground. Then I picked it up, sprayed the cap with disinfectant, and then held my penis to pee. Please tell me what's at risk? HIV and genital warts, syphilis, hepatitis b c,... no?

For HIV, the only risks in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

You cannot get HIV or any STDs from a hand - not your hand, and not anyone else's hand - no matter what is on the hand.

My hand was stabbed with scissors and bleeding while working. I checked the tip of the scissors and saw no blood or fluid. The scissors were not rusted. Am I at risk for HIV and STDs or tetanus?

STIs require sexual activity to transmit - hence, the sexual transmitted part of sexually transmitted infection.

The only way to get STIs are:

* oral sex - your mouth on someone's genitals, or their mouth on your genitals. Some STIs require penetration, as in the penis being inserted into the mouth.
* direct genital to genital contact - this is unclothed vagina to penis, penis to penis, vagina to vagina contact, or penis to anus contact. If penetration isn't involved, some intense rubbing and grinding without clothes on needs to happen.
* vaginal sex - penis in the vagina penetration, or intense rubbing or grinding of the penis against the vagina.
* anal sex - penis in the anus penetration, or intense rubbing or grinding of the penis against the anus.  

All of these require clothes to be off of all people involved, and condoms reduce the risk of STIs either totally, or significantly, depending on the STI.

Maybe tetanus, but that isn't an STD, and this is an STD forum.

So, no risk of HIV, HPV and other STDs, right?
