Hpv case with eczema

[Peaceofmind123]

Hello I hope someone can help me with my worries and concerns. I have HPV. I was diagnosed years ago when a genital wart was spotted by my family dermatologist. I have teenage children and I believe I contracted HPV well after they were born because of the promiscuous lifestyle I led during that time. So of course my worries and concerns have always been focused on not passing HPV to them. When I was first diagnosed years ago, the information available said that it was not in blood or saliva, etc., and that it could only be spread through serial contact. This put my kind at ease and I moved on. However today they are saying it has been found in blood and saliva, etc., and so therefore this worries and concerns me. Does this updated information anything to worry about when it comes to spreading HPV to others in regards to sharing utensils, straws, drinks, etc.? What about transferring HPV through objects like a door knob, after touching my genitals to an object... and after someone else touching the object and then their own genitals?  What about towels? And here is my biggest worry and concern. I have eczema on my hand. I have had it for over a year because it is hard to get rid of.  I never worried about it as far as transmitting HPV because of the older past information I was aware of until now. Today's info has now got me worried sick if I may have accidentally passed HPV. My eczema sometimes weeps and let's out a weeping liquid. Can HPV be passed on to someone if they touch my hand and get the eczema weeping liquid on their hands... and they turn around and eat food or put their fingers in their mouth, for example?  Because I led a promiscuous lifestyle in years past, I might possibly also have the HPV that is also high risk, the cancerous kind.  And so I worry about transmission especially because of that.  Please somebody help with these concerns.

No.  In general, sharing of things can spread germs.  

According to the CDC, these things cannot spread HPV. Click on this link below and page down until you talks about it is spread.

Hi veryworried420... are you saying that sharing straws, utensils, etc., spreads HPV?  I've done this with family members and even close friends.  Does this mean that HPV has most likely been spread to them this way?

The odds of transmission except via the rubbing of genital skin are zero. Don't believe the crap you read on most sites. However, sharing things like razors, straws, glasses, cigarettes, etc should be avoided in general.
