Is there any way to contract herpes from a hand job?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YEP: Herpes is a contact transmitted virus that can go from north to south via mouth and via hand. Open wounds in the hand can carry the virus- and if in contact with a moist area- lower male and or female area with a open or blister like sore on one hand can actively spread this virus.
