Can I get genital herpes this way?

A couple of months ago I had a cold sore. I don't have one now. Today I've been using my phone and laptop all day and I touched my genitals at one point. Am I gonna get genital herpes from this? I normally wash my hands before and after using the bathroom and touching objects because I'm an actual germ freak. Now I'm freaking out and worrying over this! I may be being paranoid. Please help!
