Question 2

is it possible for you to get hpv by sharing drinking glasses?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: This question shows you as a health-conscious person. But, to HPV, there has been no known evidence to support this concern although anecdotal auto-infection or non-sexual transmission of HPV have been occasionally reported. In fact, some 1% of sexually active adults have wart although some 10-15% of them have (+) HPV DNA test, suggesting most of the infected are symptom-free. More? Ask Doc.

Question 3

is it possible to contract hpv from using same bed sheets and sharing a drink?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Hpv is generally spread by close contact such as sexual intercourse.  It is not spread simply by sleeping on the same sheets as someone with the virus, or from sharing a drink.

Question 4

can i transmit virus if i have oral hpv by sharing spoons, drinking from the same cup etc? i don't want to infect my family.

Accepted Answer

Not if washed: Hpv cannot be transmitted if the utensils are washed prior to use.  Hpv is transmitted from one warm moist place to another.

Question 5

what are reasons that hpv doesn't spread when sharing food, drinking from same glass etc.? is it because of the very small amount of virus?

Accepted Answer

HPV: This virus is transmitted by direct skin to skin contact and will die quickly outside the body.  It is conceivable that it could be transmitted by inanimate objects but not generally by an oral route where saliva should destroy the virus.  Immediate sharing of a dildo may provide transfer of the virus from person to person.

Question 6

can hpv transmit via saliva, e.g. drinking water from the same glass? if i have a cut on my mouth and sharing drink with hpv infected person?

Accepted Answer

: No, zero risk. You will never get HIV except by sex. However, assuming that at your age you have been sexually active, you can assume you already have been infected. Over 90% of all people acquire HPV (often several times), even if they have had only a few sex partners. If at sexual risk, look into HPV vaccination. Regardless of risk, follow standard Pap smear guidelines. Otherwise no worries.

Question 7

can you get hpv from sharing a towel?

Accepted Answer

Less likely: HPV is typically transmitted with skin to skin contact

Question 8

can you get hpv from sharing utensils?

Accepted Answer

: The sexual/genital forms of HPV are passed skin to skin from an active case that is shedding virus to a vulnerable recipient. Random contact with utensils is not a transfer agent.

Question 9

can you get hpv from sharing a towel with someone who has genital warts or sitting on a toilet?

Accepted Answer

HPV: Hpv is passed on through genital contact, most often during vaginal and anal sex. Hpv may also be passed on during oral sex and genital-to-genital contact. Hpv can be passed on between straight and same-sex partners—even when the infected person has no signs or symptoms.

Question 10

please tell me if you can get hpv thru sharing gum with someone who has it down there?

Accepted Answer

Contagious: Genital herpes is usually transmitted by contact with the genital area. If a person with eruptions sheds virus on his hands and touches your chewing gum, it's possible for the virus to be transmitted to you that way. Genital herpes virus can also cause herpes infection in the oral area.
