HPV are a family of viruses. Each strain has a preferred location for growth and the genital strains (cervical cancer types or warts ) are specific to that type of skin (genital) . The transfer from one person to another requires direct skin to skin transfer between genitals. These germs do not pass like common skin germs.

Toching underwear of a person specially with no symptom of HPV will not cause HPV In this scenario the chances of HPV are near 0. So don't worry
