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 3

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 4

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 5

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

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 10

can i get hpv from giving a handjob?

Accepted Answer

Possible: There are more than 40 types of hpv and the are most always passed from person to person from genital to genital contact. Skin to skin contact could allow the virus to be passed on, but probably rarely.
