How can warts be given?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: Most skin warts are felt to be transmitted by direct contract, but the evidence for this is weak. Genital warts are generally gotten through sexual contact. These lesions, due to human papilloma virus (hpv) may induce cancers and should be taken care of promptly.

Warts: Warts are caused by one of the many types of human papilloma virus. This virus is "given" through skin-to-skin contact. The end result can be the development of a typical wart.
