A member asked:
If i had wart on my finger in childhood, sure i was bathing therefore touching my genital, does it mean i developed genital hpv and am contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: There are many strains of HPV and some affect non-genital skin preferentially. In all likelihood you cleared the HPV virus from your body long time ago and are not contagious.
