No, if there was time between you and the person it was used on before you, you should be fine.

If it didn't go directly from someone else to you, it's fine.

If this should happen again, you can use condoms on toys to protect yourself.

Ok so even if I had anal fissure prior my risk is still really low? It wasn’t bleeding for awhile before or after it happened
No, if there is nothing on the toy, there can be nothing transmitted to you, anal fissure or not.

STDs die pretty quickly once outside the body, so sharing toys isn't usually a risk. This is more of a theoretical risk, like it could happen, but if there's any time at all between use between partners, it won't transmit anything.
