A member asked:
Is it possible to get genital hpv through hand to hand rubbing with someone who has genital hpv? after washing my hands can i touch my own genitals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and yes: Hand to hand rubbing will not result in transmission of genital hpv. Washing your hands will always help against transmission of many other diseases and you can touch your genitals.
