Will PS Fluid Damage Belts?

Hey guys, I got some power steering fluid on the drive belts today. I wiped it off with a rag. Will it deteriorate the belts and cause them to prematurely snap? I'm going to Vegas in a couple weeks and I don't want to be stranded...

Was it on purpose or accident? I always have a spare belt in the box just in case.

It was on accident. I might just go ahead and change them out if I have time. Wouldn't hurt to have new ones.
