No, it takes direct contact for HPV transmission. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding HPV transmission.

The risk of infection is low but not zero. Get HPV vaccine. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines Wish you good health!

The HPV virus is transferred by skin to skin contact, not thru semen or bodily fluids. Most people have some form of variant on their skin that lay dormant for years. Close sexual contact, skin to skin, not fresh or dried semen is the mode of transmission.
