A member asked:
Can flat warts on face and neck spread from person to person? can it be transmitted through non-sexual routes like hand to hand contact, hug or from objects or surfaces? is it still contagious after laser removal if hpv test result is positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HPV test result stays positive indefinitely. If the flat wart is surgically removed that site is no longer a source of transmission.
