I had to wear underwear that accidentally fell on the floor. should i worry about infecting myself this way?

Thou shalt not: No worries. Probably everybody continues to wear underwear that accidentally fell on the floor. Maybe if the floor is really dirty, as in visibly dirty, and a person had spare underwear... she could go with the spare. That's what spares are for, right? As they say, "Don't sweat the small stuff."
