A member asked:
I had transvaginal ultrasound exam. i saw the nurse did not sanitise the probe and put condom on for sure. can i get hpv from probe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: Most likely the probe had been cleaned after the previous patient, before you observed it. And the condom also is protected. HPV is not known to be transmitted in doctors' offices in this way. Don't worry about it.
