A member asked:

My friend has genital hpv. am at any risk of getting it myself? can you get it through small cuts in the foot or hand? like stepping on his underwear?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not that way: Genital hpv has preference for genital tissues. You could not get it without contact of the genital region to genitals or oral-genital, or anal-genital region. Won't spread from inanimate objects (underwear) to genitals.
