A member asked:
I shaved over a common wart on my leg not realizing it was there and eventually used that same razor to shave my genital area. can i get genital warts from this or no because of different strains?

What you described does not put you at risk for genital warts. You should get HPV vaccine to prevent genital warts and other disorders caused by HPV. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
