How long can std's live on the hands, let's say if i fingered a woman? i read here that alcohol or soap will not kill hiv etc, when "cleaning up" after protected sex, meaning your hands, groin etc.

STDs: Skin to skin transmission of stds include herpes, syphilis and hpv. In your scenario there is no risk of other stds.
