Hpv odds.

Hi I've read that hpv can only be transmitted through skin on skin contact , sexual intercourse or oral sex which is less likely.


My question is if i used a condom and had a brief minute interaction I should be ok.

I never had any intercourse because I knew infection was likely.

If i touched containment surfaces and then touched my gentiles I should still be negative?  I should be from what I read.

Also if someone touched their gentiles and then touched mine I should still be ok?

And if I happened to get any containment in my lips I should be ok because I never did oral sex.


I'm worried that a cigarette button could of touched containment.

Please let me know.


I have a gf long time and I'm very worried of touching her now.


There was absolutely no sex or grinding

HPV is ONLY transmitted by skin to skin contact. The strains that affect the genitals are ONLY spread by oral, vaginal and anal sex, and maybe heavy grinding/rubbing while unclothed.

I don't know what your "interaction" involved, but if it was just hands, you're at no risk at all.

Contaminated surfaces are not an issue with this.

I'm worried that the person was trying to infect me because I didn't want to do sex.

I know they touched my butt very brief and I think they touched their gentiles to try and infect me.

Also I think they might of rubbed a cigarette butt on their infection and handed it to me to smoke.

I was very intoxicated.

Had a brief oral but condom and it was quick.  Totally covered.

So containment on my hand from containments and touching my gentiles no risk.  


I know sounds crazy
It sounds irrational, yes.

Let's say for a moment that they were trying to infect you. Let's say, for argument's sake, that they did rub a cigarette butt on their infection. (Do you mean they rubbed it on their genitals?) Let's say they did rub their genitals and then touched your butt.

None of those things would infect you. It doesn't matter if any of that actually happened because they are all no risk.

Your butt cheeks have skin that is too thick for any virus to penetrate. Hands don't transmit the virus, to your butt, your anus, or anywhere else.

HPV isn't transmitted by rubbing it on a cig butt and then you smoking it.

None of these things would infect you.

Now, for logic. No one is trying to infect you. No one is rubbing cigarettes on their genitals. Cigarettes are expensive wherever you live - no one is wasting one on this.

I don't' know if this kind of irrational thinking is normal for you, or if this is because of anxiety and guilt because you have a gf. Either way, it's irrational, and I hope you consider getting some therapy for it. Your anxiety is a far bigger problem than your non-risk activity with anyone.

Guilt does not equal risk.

Ok and thanks for the message.

I m 100% sure that is what happened..

I'll post in months time to see if I caught something.

No sex, brief oral with a condom and I touched myself a bit but I'm worried that hpv virus was on my hand .

Ok has to be direct that's what I read on here over and over


Hi last question please, can I resume sexual activity with my gf?

I had a brief Oral with condom though.  I was receiver.

Should I wait to get tested for stds and wait to see if I did catch hpv ?


I agree I need to get counseling,  my mind isn't stable.




You have no risk for HPV or any other StI, it can't be transmitted the way you described. It is impossible to "rub in" the virus intentionally and nobody would do it. because it makes no sense.
You should resume normal life as soon as possible. And yes, you are in need of counseling - your present state of mind may hurt you.
I will talk to someone.   I am in need for real.
Hi last thing, my hands could of been contaminated and I touched my penis. Still should be ok
You are fixated on the idea of "contaminated hands". There is no such thing as "contaminated hands" in the field of STI epidemiology.
The problem is in your mind, not about your hands or skin. No matter how often you come back her for more reassurance "I should be okay, right" no one can help you until you address your psychological issue first.
There are no new answers you can get with your question. I strongly suggest you stop it here and look for counseling.
Ok I appreciate the concern and comments.  Humbley

It's just so much contradictory stuff online inregards to hpv, as u are aware.  With everything it's not easy..

Thanks

Stop googling STIs and start googling counselors. Talk to your doctor about your fears, and ask for a referral to a good counselor.

Your mental health is your biggest issue right now.
Ok
Thanks for all your comments and recommendations
