Most STDs will not last long outside the body; say several minutes up to an hour or so, depending on temperature and humidity.
From an hour or so up to about 1 week, depending on the infection and environmental conditions.
This varies depending on the type of infection. Time can be minutes to days, depending on environmental conditions.
I wouldn't worry about it. They all die on contact with air. The only exception is chlamydia which can remain active for a few minutes. If the std is in a fluid like semen or blood, they can remain infectious for a little while - but really, how often do you put your hands in semen or blood?
