A member asked:
Can i get the genital warts through a dry towel, dry bedsheet and faucet if a infected person used them before? does it possible to be infected if my hand touch dry towel, dry bedsheet, faucet and then i touch my genital area after having sex?

HPV does not survive a long time on dry surfaces so it is rare to get HPV infection from those dry materials but it is still possible.
