Can hpv be transmitted by non sexual contact of skin between close friends? if so, how to differentiate between mole, skin tag and hpv ?

This doesn't happen, no risk at all. No sex means absolutely no chance of catching any of the HPV types that cause genital infection. Google to see photos of typical warts, skin tags and moles, but the only way to be 100% is to be seen by an experienced doctor or clinic.

Mole is usually dark or reddish and flat. Skintag is smooth soft raised and skin colored, wart is pinkish irregular flat or on a thick stalk. Best checked by an experienced MD or dermatologist. hpv is overwhelmingly caused by sexual contact
