The drawstring of my pants touched the rim of urinal
Yesterday while I was peeing in a public restroom the drawstring of my pants touched the rim and outer part of the urinal. Am I at risk of catching HIV syphilis or herpes from what I just described

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
STIs, including HIV, are transmitted by sexual activity. Depending on the STI, they may be transmitted by oral, vaginal, or anal sex, or by unclothed rubbing of genitals.
They definitely require sexual activity to transmit, hence the name "sexually transmitted infections". You will never get anything from a urinal, except maybe grossed out.
