A member asked:
Is it possible to contract hpv any other way besides sexually?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hpv or human pappiloma virus is the agent for warts. It can occur any part of the body covered by skin or mucosa. So contact with other body parts of another person not in a sexual context can still pass the infection over.
