Can i spread hpv to others by my tooth brush kept in contact with other toothbrush ?

No. This germ is not passed like random bacteria. It is passed by genital to genital contact with a person shedding virus.

Most viruses don't live outside the body and die on objects. The virus needs a host to live and survive, a toothbrush is not an extension of the human body. Never share or use some one else's toothbrush. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease.
