A member asked:
If i touched the genital area of someone with hpv when they weren't wearing a condom and then touched something else eg a bag is that object infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Virus can't use a non-living object/entity as a host. They, typically, rely on host DNA/genetic material to wreak their havoc.
