A member asked:
My roommate has highrisk hpv. will i contract the virus from touching contaminated surfaces, bidet, clothing, doorknob, etc.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The genital types of HPV are spread only by sex. Roommates and household contacts of infected persons never get it (if they aren't sex partners of the infected person). Don't worry about it.
