A member asked:
If a guy touches the vaginal discharge of a girl who's infected with hpv with his hand and use his hand to scratch his face and lips, what will happen?

Likely nothing: The HPV germs are rather selective in the environments where they will live. Genital HPV infections can pass to other genital skin, and sometimes the throat, but the regular skin surface would not be a site in a person with a normal immune system.

No risk: Common sense alone tells you that nothing will happen, i.e. you will not develop any sort of HPV problem of the face and lips. At any point in time, 25-50% of people age 20-30 have genital HPV. So obviously there are millions of episodes of hand-genital contact with such persons, often with touching or scratching the face afterward. But almost nobody has problems with facial HPV. Don't worry.
