A member asked:
Can you get hpv from touching bodily fluids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little or no risk: HPV is transmitted only by sex, not by nonsexual contact with body fluids in the environment and rarely, if ever, by contact with fluids through hand-genital contact, fingering, etc. Of course you're going to get HPV someday, if not already; it happens to almost all sexually active persons. If you haven't been vaccinated, do it now, for protection against the 9 most troublesome HPY types.
