Unlikely: The only germs that sit randomly on your genitals would be the same common to most of your skin. If you had oozing sores it may have others but the primary source of STD germs reside in the material secreted from your insides. Many die soon after reaching outside air, some require the mechanical action of sex to transfer. Sanitize you hands dude, the idea is sad.
