This really does not put you at risk for anything like HIV, hepatitis, etc. The phone was in your pocket so you had little contact with it. Clean your phone with an antibacterial wipe or an alcohol wipe and wash your hands. Good luck to you!

No possible infection unless you any open sores, cuts or wounds on eyes or face.
