A member asked:
If you touch the warts on scrotum and then touch your anus, will it transmit? theoritical and practical risks? please help

Low risk: Anal warts are most common in people who have had receptive anal sex, but sometimes appear in men or women with no anal sexual exposure. It is not known how often this results from touching like you describe, or from migration of the virus along the skin to the anal area. Probably some of each. Best to avoid contacting your anal area after finger contact with your warts, either way is low risk.
