A member asked:

Do you have to have had some sort of sexual contact (whether penetrative, oral, hands etc) to get hpv? can you simply get it from touching a surface or an object?

If you are asking about the STD-caused HPV strains, the answer is yes. Other HPV strains can be transmitted without sexual contacts then the condition is not called sexual transmitted.
