A member asked:
Please tell me if you can get hpv thru sharing gum with someone who has it down there?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
