A member asked:
Can you get genital warts from sitting on the carpet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes -if: If someone else with genital warts was sitting on the same section of carpet then it is possible that the human papilloma virus could stay on the carpet fibers and then be transferred to another host. However the virus would not be expected to last long on the carpet and the chances seem unlikely.
