Hpv transmission
I play a sport called over the line or beach softball. It involves catching a hard hit batted softball with your bare hands. Sometimes it can split the webbing on your hands, break a nail, or cause a compound finger fracture, thus producing blood. Blood can get on the ball, and someone other than me may pick up the ball with blood on it, and may have a cut on their hand. Or you can get a knee abrasion diving on the sand, and may share a towel you kneel on to pitch to each other. A teammate may kneel on the towel immediately after you and have a bleeding knee abrasion also.Can Hpv be transmitted through blood via these means? What does the science say?
No. The virus does not travel in the blood or any fluid. It is a genital skin disease.
