A member asked:
Can genital warts spread to anus? and if they can how does that happen?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, this is quite common. The virus may spread naturally from the genital area to nearby surfaces, especially in women. Or by auto-inoculation (i.e. self transfer of the virus on fingers, during toilet, etc).

Yes they can. This can happen due to local spread or anal sex with someone who has them.
