Holding hands herpes

A Csw pulled me towards her fully clothed by holding my hand which I then shrugged off. Could this have transmitted herpes assuming she may have put her hand first inside her mouth before holding mine or may have had a hand herpes witlow and then held my hand?

There was not risk for contracting herpes from this.

Thank you Life360 for the answer. Would your opinion hold true assuming she had been to the toilet before and had touced her genitals and the secretions had remained on her hands, and then after a few minutes she had pulled me towards her by clutching my hand? Thank you in anticipation of your reply.
