A member asked:
Is it possible for men to have hpv under their finger nails?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible, yes: The hpv virus doesn't live for very long away from the genitals or mouth of a human host. If someone is touching an hpv infected organ and then they use the same fingers to touch a different part of your body, hpv can be transferred via this sexual contact.
