A member asked:
I know someone who has hpv virus of the anus and i accidentally ate ice cream off of a spoon she did. i haven't had the guard shot yet, can i catch it?

No: There are germs like chickenpox that you can catch if you are in the same room for half an hour, but this is not one of them. HPV requires direct skin to skin contact with the infected source. It is fine for you to be around her.
