Is this a possible herpes transmission? Might have been at risk here.

I was going home from school riding a public jeepney here.
There was a girl on my front, and i was sitting on the chair across her, (the seats on the jeeps are sideways so you're faced to face with each other and there's a gap in the middle to let people go in and out of the jeep).
Then, a while later. there was this guy who rode the jeep and sat right beside the girl on my front,  (which i am faced to). I looked at the guy and saw pus filled pimples on his upper lip and 2-3 red patches surrounding his lips, one on the upper skin on top of the lip, one on the lip, and one on the side of the lower lip. It made me think of herpes right away. Then, awhile later, he talked and I felt something hit my forearm, i looked on it and i didn't saw anything, I was checking for saliva. There was nothing but i felt something hit my forearm. Do you think the guy had herpes? And do you think I may have been at risk for herpes about what happened?
Please help, I can't get myself at ease and thinking a lot of stuff here...
Thank you.
