What Are The Chances Of STD Through Touch?

Hi, Im a 16 year old male and I work in an icecream chain store in New York named Carvel. I recently served a prostitute, which I did not knoww at first until my coworkers told meee after I finished serving her and completed her transaction. She wanted to try 3 different favor of icecream and I took 3 different spoons and scooped 3 different icecream. She licked the icecream off the spoon and placed it inside of her mouth. However I was always taught to be nice to the customers and I was willing to take her spoons and throw it in the garbage can for her, without knowing she was a prostitute a first. I touched her spoons with my bare hands and I was wondering if I have any possibility of catching herpes(mainly) or diseases from her.
