Can you pass HSV1/2 to someone giving you a hand job? Vice versa?

Just wondering.  It seems like there's varied answers to this one.

Thanks!

The issue here is hand herpes and contracting it on the penis from a handjob.
Hand herpes (whitlow) is only contageous when a finger sore is present and if she had a herpes finger/hand sore at the time, she would not give you a hand job as the pain would be unbearable. Whitlow is very painful.

What your meaning here is really not something thing that happens.

Trauma to the hands?  Non-traditional herpes areas?

Can you explain more in depth?  Thanks.

I recently visited an infectious disease specialist to get some answers and he said the only way is to have some kind of trauma for the hands and other non-traditional herpes areas to be infected. He had me look up herpes gladiatorum. Other than the he said no.
