A member asked:
Can someone get hpv by touching a doorknob and then touching mouth, eyes, genitals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not possible: HPV transmission requries intimate contact. Genital infection is acquired only by sex with infected partners. If you are concerned about being in the same house or sharing bathrooms, kitchens, etc with someone with genital HPV, you can stop worrying. There is no risk at all from these things.
