Is there a risk of me getting pregnant?

[uhhhokay]

Around 2 weeks ago, I gave my boyfriend a handjob and He came in my hands. I immediately got up (didn't wait for the semen to dry up first) and washed my hands with cold water and soap then dried them off with a towel. 5-10 minutes later, I went to pee, and when I wiped my down there my hand (that had semen on it before) briefly touched my vaginal opening. I'm experiencing PMS symptoms right now (sore breasts & backache) My period is usually regular and was supposed to come 4 days ago. I'm currently fasting so my eating & sleeping schedule are messed up. I haven't experienced implantation bleeding if I really am pregnant (which I think should've begun by now) or anything else like that so I guess the likelihood of me getting pregnant is very low, but I just need to make sure—is there any chance that I could be pregnant right now? (I'm planning on either seeing a doctor or taking an HPT if in 2 weeks my period still hasn't arrived yet.)
