No worries, the wash cycle would have cleaned the undergarments completely.

The bacteria and viruses that causes STD/STI HERPES die when outside of a host environment. There has to be live host to host contact for transmission. Hot water will kill these diseases so don't worry. Always check labels on items or ask attendant if product is used or new.
