A member asked:
I took a sip with my straw from the drink of a person infected with oral hpv (she had already drunk from her cup). can i catch hpv this way?

VERY UNLIKELY: The transfer of this germ generally requires direct contact by two surfaces involved. A little germ debris floating in a drink does not have the power to grind into your tissue. I would not sweat the issue.
