Risk from vaginal to handjob

Visited sex worker who proceeded to do handjob with one hand while fingering herself with the other hand(knowing my concerns).  She then attempted to clean her her vaginal hand by using hand sanitizer and briefly rubbed against her chest for a microsecond.  She then used both hands to continue handjob thus highly likely contributing vaginal secretions to penis.  My understanding is hand sanitizer does nothing for hpv for example.  Concerned about overall std risk and most specifically hpv risk since won't know from testing and possibly infecting my long time partner?  Incidentally I did get the Gardisil 9 vaccine as a 40+ male about a year ago but concerned about any hpv as well as other stfs

There's no risk here. Even if she had anything on her hand, the hand sanitizer, time, air, motion, wiping, etc., would have killed it or degraded it enough so that it couldn't transmit.

Hands don't transmit STDs for these reasons. You're really okay.

Thanks even though sanitizer may be ineffective against hpv? Possibly the air rubbing works faster?  How about other stds hsv for example?
Yes, even though hand sanitizer may be ineffective.

All of those things, separately and together, would make transmission impossible for any STD.
