Hpv
Can hpv, both the kinds that cause cancer and the kinds that cause warts, be transmitted by:
1. Touching someone's dirty underwear and not washing the hands and then touching other people or things?
2. Can they be transmitted by sharing clothes that were previously worn?
3. Can using the bathroom then touching my shirt, pants, and belt contaminate them and pass it if someone touches that same shirt or belt or pants?
Thank you!

Thanks for your help!
No worries there. This disease requires genital skin contact. Oral membranes resemble genital skin which is why some people get it orally. Objects do not pass the virus. Stop this madness please. Get some therapy if you cannot end this illogical fear.
If I use that bathroom and touched an object can someone get it from touching that contaminated object? Such as a sink handle? Then touching their face or genitals? Last question.
Thank you.
These scenarios are 1 in a million. It is possible that the virus hides under one's fingernails but the odds of this are very very low. No one with this virus is walking around wearing gloves to prevent infecting others. Everything I've read says genital skin contact or oral sex is needed to pass it to someone else. And oral sex is low risk. If soap an water aren't around, use antibacterial hand gel. They make them in small bottles to carry around.
And also, the doctors say in no way can you transmit this to children. But there are cases where it has happened through diaper changes? I'm so afraid to change my child's diaper. What if soap and water aren't available and I have just used the restroom?

Your sure?
No, No and No. Genital skin to genital skin is required.
