Is hpv washed away from clothes after washing them?

More or less: Since it is only transmitted by direct skin to skin contact, what happens to the germs on clothing is irrelevant.

About life's worries: As president Franklin Roosevelt once said, in 1933 about 85 years ago, "let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself..." HPV is not transmitted via clean clothes after the washer-dryer. No worries. All persons aged 9-26 years can get the Gardasil-9 vaccine to stop bad HPV strains. Live life safely, but realize that everything we do or don't do will have risks.
