you would get herpes on your hands from giving someone a hand job. the virus doesn't travel through the body to infect other body parts.
no, you can' t wash herpes off. it transmits during the heat and friction of the manual stimulation.
Grace,
Thank you so much for your reply. What kind of herpes can I get, herpes I (oral herpes) or genital herpes? I guess it is genital herpes. If my fingers got herpes, how long will it stay on my fingers? If I wash hands afterward, can I wash it away? I really appreciate your help.

you can get herpes on your hands but the risk is small. the types of hpv that infect the genital area, tend not to transmit to the hands either. no risk of hiv.
if you have active psoriasis, best to avoid touching someone's genital area until the rash is back under control don't you think?
