There is little if any risk of self-reinfection. However, you should play it safe and wash the toys or wipe them with disinfectant after each use. That will eliminate any possibility you could reinfect yourself.

I can’t say for certain whether your toys will reinfect you. To be on the safe side, consider getting new sex toys.
