A member asked:
Can you spread genital warts ny washing yourself with a towel during an outbreak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the contaminated towel were used fairly soon after use and the virus found a break in the skin to invade. Considering the virus can survive and infect from the smoke created by laser treatment, it shouldn't have trouble surviving a wet towel.
