Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. There is no need to worry in your case. Only his fingers which had vaginal fluids which just touched your nose and lips after. You are not likely to get STD from this.

Vaginal fluid is musky and fishy in case of bacterial vaginosis. Even though he washed his fingers there will be some smell left. It is just an odour. So you can relax.

Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
