Brief Answer:
No!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Unlikely to get an STD from a handjob. If you never saw any active lesions on the penis and you have not wounds on your hands, there is just no reason to het worried. The skin is more protective than mucous membranes that can easily allow germs to penetrate and cause infections.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
