gential wart transmission

3 questions about genital warts:
1. can you get a genital warts from someone masturbating you with their hand?
2. if you had a genital wart, can you transfer it to your own hand from self masturbation and/or can you transfer it to different parts of your own body? i have read so much out there but some say that certain warts only live in certain area of the body (ie genital in the genital region)
3. i guess this depends on question #2, but if you can transfer a genital wart to your hand, then is it possible to give your kids genital wart just by playing with them or giving them baths?
thanks

1. Very very unlikely.
2. Very very unlikely.
3. Very very unlikely.
I can't say never, but basically the answer is no, never. Given how universal warts of all kinds are, if we could spread warts by touching ourselves and others, all of us would be covered with warts.
Take care.

Not to worry.
