Do viruses enter the body through the skin?

Some do. Warts for example. HIV if you have a cut or abrasion or scrape. Great Google question I would think.

Herpes, and human papilloma are common viral infections that enter through the skin. Almost any virus can gain entry through broken skin. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
