Accepted Answer

: It is not common to transmit HPV to your child during the daily care. If you want to be strict do not use same bathing towel and if possible, wash your hand with soap before taking you child. Kissing your child does not transmit the virus. Please note that intact skin (on cut, no abrasion or no prolonged friction) and mucosa are not susceptible to HPV.

Question 2

can i pass non-wart hpv to my son through diaper changes, contaminated hands, sharing towels, bathing, etc?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Transmission of hpv geneally requires close physical contact.

Question 3

can you get hpv from touching dirty diapers?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: I guess depends on whether you mean a baby's diaper or adult's diaper.
Either way is very unlikey. But especially with a baby - it is very difficult for a baby to catch HPV.
Usually virus is transmitted through vaginal or anal intercourse, or oral sex.

Question 4

can you get hpv from changing diapers off someone elses baby ,whose parents have it?

Accepted Answer

No: The baby does not have HPV, so there is no risk.

Question 5

can you get genital hpv from touching a dirty diaper from a baby?

Accepted Answer

No: HPV is not tolerant to exposure to the environment &amp; dies when exposed to air/drying almost immediately. Babies should not have HPV anyway.

Question 6

if a baby has genital warts, can i get hpv from touching the inside of their diaper?

Accepted Answer

No: HPV strains die on contact with air or drying. It will not remain living on your fingers and cannot be transferred from them to your own genitals. Wart strains can only survive on genital skin.

Question 7

how is hpv transmitted? if it can only be by sex what else could this be? 4months ago my 2 1/2year old daughter shoved a toy in her diaper and cut her butt crack about a half inch above her anus. 2 weeks later i noticed it was healing wrong, looked like e

Accepted Answer

HPV : Hpv is  transmitted through genital contact, (vaginal  sex, anal sex and oral sex). It is not passed by inanimate objects.

Question 8

can i pass non-wart genital hpv to my baby through cuddling, kissing his cheeks, changing his diapers with unclean hands, etc?

Accepted Answer

Let me explain: Studies have shown hpv transmission between hands and genitals of the same person and sexual partners is possible, partridge reports men's fingertips became positive for high risk hpv at more than half the rate (26% per 2 years) as their genitals (48%) winer reports 14% of fingertip samples from sexually active women were positive. So clean your hands before.

Question 9

i have a fetish of playing with infant/toddler diapers. can i get std if i touched the urine from the diaper and fingered myself? (hpv, trichomonas, gonorrhea, etc...)

Accepted Answer

No risk, no worry: For obvious reasons, STDs are extremely rare in infants or toddlers. And even if an STD were present, there would be little or no risj from such contact. Don't worry about it.

Question 10

what are the chances of contracting oral hpv from giving someone a blowjob?

Accepted Answer

Depends: At your age you can still get 3 doses of the 9-valent HPV vaccine. If you got the original 4-valent vaccine you just need one dose of the 9-valent vaccine. Get checked out and if you are negative for the HPV strains get the shot(s).
