Soap instantly kills HPV. And even without washing or soap contact, HPV is never acquired by contact with the environment. There is no risk for genital HPV except sex with one or more potentially infected partners.

Chances are remote- but the virus can survive up to 24- 28 hrs on surfaces. So only if the door knob was contaminated.
