A member asked:
How long min/hr can hpv be transmittable on clothing, soap, toilet seat, etc? i know virus exists forever outside body but when can virus not transmit
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No transmission risk: HPV has never been known to have been transmitted by clothing, toilet seats, or the other things you mention. Soap would kill it instantly. And I'm not at all sure the virus "exists forever outside the body". Where did you hear that? If you don't have sex, you cannot catch or transmit the genital HPV types. Don't worry about it.
