Does low/high risk genital hpv live on hands for long periods of time? say i touch a women with hpv or myself with hpv, can i transmit to others?or me

Yes: Yes you can, if done immediately or if carried on bodily fluids it can be transmitted. However it's not a virus that's very hardy so the risk of transmission is lower but existent.
