Could Using The Same Cotton As Another Person Transmit Infection, Post-finger Prick?

Hello, so a doctor wiped my finger with some liquid on the cotton. Placed it on the table and then used the wet part of the cotton to stop the flow of the blood. I held it on my finger tip for a good while because that s where I had been pricked. My question is, if some one was there before me merely a minute or two and there cotton was placed at the same spot, wouldn t that get me infected? Thank you please.
