HPV Risk from Fingering and "Humping" on Leg?
Hi,
I'm an guilt-and-anxiety-ridden guy who had an incident out of his relationship. I've largely ruled out STDs at this point (after two months) but HPV is one of those hard ones to rule out.
My "exposures" to the woman were fingering her vagina and allowing her to rub her vagina on my thigh.
I know I don't know that she had a wart or HPV or was actively shedding, so I can hope that's all not true.
But other than that, can someone give me a realistic risk assessment of these activities?
I feel like I've always read the doctors saying HPV doesn't like to live on the hand. Is that right?
They also seem to think that genital-hand-genital contact is unlikely (me fingering here than touching my own penis). Also correct? What are the odds here/
Next, I feel like I've read that it's possible to get HPV from her rubbing her vagina on my bare thigh/leg, but again, that's unlikely because the skin is thicker there. Again true?
And finally, am I correct that the risk of transmission comes from the time/place of skin-to-skin contact and not from something more indirect, like her rubbing her vagina on my leg and then my penis later touching that area and/or her vagina juices slowing down my thigh toward/to my penis/scrotum?
Thanks for your info, much appreciated.

Yes it usually takes six months..
But vast majority of people don't develop warts and clears the virus within 2 years.
So don't worry and stop reading about it.

Scared, thanks, I get your points entirely.
How long does it take for HPV warts to show up? I've seen various things online and even from the doctors. I think the doctors used to say it could be pretty quick but later, maybe around 2013, said it usually takes six months.
Any ideas?

You are absolutely right..
No need to be worried..
I know HPV is extremely common and very easily transmitted but you are safe from the exposure you described above.
So ease it from your mind and move on.
A glass of water is not as heavy as 10 pound dumbbell but if you keep holding the glass of water for a long time in the air you will feel pain, aches, etc in your hand.
Similarly if you keep thinking on this minor issue you will end up with something that is not good for your mental health.
I have gone through serve anxiety problems because of this HPV. SO DON'T BE A FOOL LIKE ME.
