A member asked:
Can i get genital warts if i touched a recently used bath towel with my hands and then my genitals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genital warts ?: Touching a towel "recently used" can transfer virus from the towel to your hands, and then to genitals, so yes, it is possible, if not common for wart virus to be communicated in this way.
