Q: is hpv genital warts spread by skin contact, or contact to a wart, or bodily fluids like semen?

Wart &amp; skin contact: Contact with the warts themselves or adjacent skin where they may be shedding the virus will increase the risk of infection transmission. Cervical warts are transmitted by direct contact from the skin of the penis and not the semen.
