You really needn't worry. STDs are no simply genital area infections: the bacteria and viruses that caused them evolved to require sex itself for transmission, not just superficial contact with infected material. Nobody ever gets any STD from public toilets or other exposures like this. Such an occurrence is obviously unpleasant, which is understandable, but not a serious risk for any STD.

No you are safe, Next time flush before you sit if you see anything in the bowl.
