A member asked:
Is it possible to catch hpv from shared use of towels, toilets, and pants (if they were worn without underwear)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HPV: Transmission by inanimate objects or on a person’s hand is unlikely, although nothing is impossible. Use of condoms is recommended and if you can receive the vaccine that is also beneficial. Be careful, it is dangerous out there. Best wishes.
