A member asked:
Can you get hpv from bed sheets or bed matress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially yes: Transmission of hpv by fomites (inanimate objects) such as clothing and bedclothes has been reported, although the major route of spread is through direct sexual contact or, more rarely, skin-to-skin contact during sexual acts.
