Possible , but : Not likely. Warts or papillomas are caused by hpv virus, ned repeated contact , just causal is not enough for transmission , due to genetic variation , usually confines to its own location cleanliness and good hygiene are best preventive measures , vaccination for young females is to prevent cervical cancer.
