A member asked:
Can you pass warts onto people if you do not have any. even though you were in contact with them. can you pass them on by holding hands etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes possible: As warts are caused by hpv virus , could be contagious, fortunately every one will not get them , needs prolonged constant contact , they are not highly contagious , some have immunity . Best way to minimize is washing your hands all the time to avoid other infections also.
