If i have hpv in genitals, when i wipe from front to back could i be spreading hpv to anus too?

Anal area warts are fairly common in women who have genital warts. This also may occur for non-wart HPV infection (e.g. if you have had an abnormal Pap smear). Such spread probably happens naturally, not because of wiping direction.

Only if you cause abrasions in the area by your wiping
