Not sure: but if you had splashed seminal or vaginal fluid on your skin, simply washing it well w/ soap/ sanitizer and/or disinfecting solutions (hydrogen peroxide, iodine, etc.) should have taken care of it. If the splash was to a mucous membrane like mouth, nose, eyelids, then there may be exposure, though you would have had symptoms of GC infection by now.
