Can you get hpv from drinking after someone?

Dr. Larry Maturani answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Possible: Technically it is possible but rare. Now, if you have relations and lets say your partner has an outbreak that you touch and then touch yourself without washing your hands first, you could acquire hpv this way. As always, it is most commonly spread by sexual contact.
