It's possible to pass genital warts with you hand if it came in contact with genital warts. I asked my doctor and she said its possible. However since you both washed your hands you have nothing to worry about. But if your hand touches genital warts you have that virus on your hands waiting for a host to survive and once you touch a genital area that virus has a way to survive. "Skin to skin contact" not just "genital to genital contact"
Thanks again veryworried420. I just want to make sure we are talking about the same “risk”. I’m not talking about direct hand-to-genital transmission from someone who is carrying HPV on their hands (i.e. under their fingernails). Rather, I’m referring to the risk of one or both of us getting HPV on our hands from touching her genitals (for several minutes) and then transferring it to my genitals when we started to masturbate me afterwards (for several minutes). Again, noting that we both washed our hands with soap and hot water in between.
The Dr.s in the expert forum fairly consistently play down this type of risk as nil or simply “theoretical”, but they do once in a while seem to waiver on that opinion just saying that it's "rare" or "low risk", which makes me a little worried. Thoughts /comments? Thanks again for your time and feedback.
It is very un-common. The doctors on the Doctors Forum have stated that this is a zero risk. Yet as you wrote, there are claims of this. I have read about people who have the virus and know which hand to use on themselves and which hand to use on their partners to not spread it. Based on what the doctors say on their forum, there is no risk at all. And I am confident of their opinion.
I'm re-posting as this was meant for veryworried420.
Thanks veryworried420. I've read so many cases where people claim to have gotten genital HPV from hand-to-genital-to-hand interactions without any genital-to-genital contact that it makes me wonder if / how common it is. You are correct in that we never had any direct genital-to-genital contact, and we did wash hands before touching my genitals after touching hers. How confident are you in your opinion? Thanks so much for your input.

Very low risk. Almost zero. Genital skin to genital skin contact is needed. Neither occured.
high risk when it comes to skin on skin contact condoms don't help either ok :)
