can you get hpv virus through non sexual means, other than sitting on a toilet seat etc.?


Question:


Answers:
HPV is usually passed by some sort of sexual contact.

A person needs to either have sex with someone who has the virus or have some sort of skin to skin contact with the area (warts).

A person can NOT get HPV from sitting on a toilet seat, shower, sharing drinks or food, a pool, etc.

Also, gonzo, is talking about herpes which is NOT HPV. Herpes and HPV (human papillomavirus) are two very different viruses that have nothing to do with each other.
HPV? No. Sexual contact only, mainly skin to skin contact from a carrier of this virus.
