No. Herpes type I is the virus responsible for what is commonly known as "cold sores". They're very similar to the outbreak caused by Herpes type II the genital variety.
The skin on you lips and in you mouth is much different than that on your hands. If you touch your cold sore, you'll not infect your hand (your hand already has the virus in it anyway) but you could conceivably transmit the virus to another person.
