Can I get any STIs from using toilet paper that came into contact with my genitals?

I would not say that it is impossible, just because I have never seen it before. But medically speaking, it is next to impossible. That is unless the toilet paper looks like it is full of pus and bodily fluids. Otherwise most of these viruses and bacteria are actually quite fragile, they do not survive in the open air for long.

How can one tell whether dysuria (pain on passing urine) is caused by a urinary tract infection or sexually transmitted infection (STD)?

This can be easily diagnosed. Just send a sample of your urine and a swab of your vagina to the laboratory to test for infection if any. Depending on the results, your doctor will prescribe the appropriate medication. It can either be anti-fungal or antibiotic (for bacterial) medication and it will help effectively treat the infections.
