No, STD transmission is not possible in above mentioned circumstances, such viruses do not survive outside of the body. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding STD’s in general and their transmission.

It is rare but you can get an HPV STD from hand contact. If sores or open wounds are present than transmission is possible.
