Need Suggestions To Avoid Infections On Wound

I just had a tolet back up and I had to put my hand in with a slightly open wound. Very small wound though. I dont know if my roomate has any STDs and he is the one who flooded it. She is also on her period and i was wondering if there is anyway that i contracted something.

Thanks for your query at HCM
I think there is no need to worry! I suppose you would have washed your hands properly after cleaning. Just apply some triple action cream on the wound and get vaccinated for tetanus. Keep your wound clean wash with chlorhexidine based hand wash.
Take care!
