A member asked:

If i have sexually hpv and touched my gentails and forgot to wash my hands and made food for some one can they get hpv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very rare: The troublesome strains of HPV that cause cancer of the penis and cervix are unlikely to be transmitted except by sex -- they're adapted for this. Everybody has a few strains of non-genital HPV. I'm sorry that fearmongers try to keep us from touching each other because of this. It's a good idea to wash hands before doing food preparation -- actually basic courtesy more than staph control.
