Hi my sister in law has hpv and we shared joints with eachother numerous times my question is if i keep doing it am i at high risk of getting hpv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: HPV is transmitted by sex, rarely if ever by sharing joints, drinking glasses, eating utensils, or anything similar. Anyway, there is no reason to supppose your sister in law's HPV involves her mouth. Don't worry about it.
