If it is your private toilet then chances are you are going to be OK. For after flushing it is relatively OK and your chances of anything bad are near 0

With the exception of a possible UTI providing toilet paper heavily contaminated there is no specific risk for any significant conditions, STD’s or otherwise. Would recommend disposing of that specific roll for peace of mind.
