I Have HPV, how does it spread besides sexual contact?

Answer 1

I depends on what kind of HPV the person has. I have read there are any where from 30 to 100 different kinds of HPV. Most don't do anything and show no symptoms, that is why it is spread so easily.

Some skin warts, like hand and feet warts, caused by HPV can be spread by casual skin to skin contact.

Other kinds of HPV, like the ones that cause genital warts and cervical cancer are typically transmitted through sexual contact.
