Can I give HPV to my partner if he fingers me?

I have HPV. If my partner fingers me, can he contract HPV? If I give him a hand job, can I give it to him that way?
I am trying to find out what I can safely do without putting him at risk. Please help!
Thanks

Hello,
The strain of virus causing hand and skin warts is different from the strain of virus causing genital warts. However common warts affecting the hands can cause genital warts but are not associated with the development of cancer. They can be transmitted from hands to genital skin.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
