A member asked:
I have a wart on my leg and i was wondering if every time i pulled my underwear up and it accidentally grazed it it would spread the virus elsewhere.

Maybe: You are more likely to spread the virus (hpv) by scratching it then scratching elsewhere. Grazing it with your underwear is likely very low risk at spreading the virus unless you really graze it good, and maybe rip it off or draw blood.
