A member asked:

Can u infect your eyes and mouth with hpv by direct touch right after u touched your hpv( high risk& warts) genital/secretion without wash your hand first.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Site specific germs: HPV strains infect only the tissue types where they like to live.Genital strains only infect genitals, If you are immune deficient like HIV or otherwise a rare HPV wart may appear on the lip margin but then only with sexual contact. These germs do not pass casually as if they were staph/strep. It is ALWAYS a good idea to wash your hands before touching your face/eyes.
