My son is 3 month old, a woman was carrying him for a few minutes, and he accidently locked her hand, i don't know how clean she was, what to expect?

Probably OK : The baby is probably fine. The mouth has more bacteria and other germs than the hands. If there was an open wound there may be some concern. But even then it's not likely to be a problem.
