Herpes is rarely if ever transmitted by hand-genital contact. And "tiny red dots" doesn't suggest herpes. If you are uncircumcised, it may be balanitis -- a harmless condition.

Chances are near 0. If there has been no sexual exposure. clean area and use OTC cortisone ointment. If not better in a few days Pl see a Urologist

If the person has active herpes, than secretions from their hands if they touch their genitals or use their saliva as a lubricant can cause herpes. Be careful who you shake hands with.
