No risk, no worry: No way, no risk. Don't worry about it. Nobody EVER gets HPV except by sex with an infected person. This must be nearly your tenth question on HealthTap indicating abnormal fear of HPV exposure and infection. You might been professional counseling to get beyond these fears. I suggest it from compassion, not criticism. Good luck. And please stop asking!
