Live wisely and...: Don't sweat the small stuff, as they say. The Canadian pathogen data sheet says, "HPV is resistant to heat and drying, and is able to survive on inanimate objects such as clothing and laboratory equipment that have come in contact with infected patients, although the precise survival time is unknown." The time is UNKNOWN, so live wisely. Be vaccinated and make smart choices. Then, no worries.
