HPV exposure

Hi,
  I have a question on how HPV is spread. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on the matter.
Is it possible to contract HPV if your penis head comes in to contact with a surface that has came in to contact with another penis head recently, like in the last day or so? I understand the highest yields of HPV are found by swabbing the tip of the penis....
I'd be grateful for any help on the matter.

Everything I've read online says that skin contact (oral or genital) is necessary to contract it but given some study someone just posted on here about it remaining alive for days after exposure on formites makes me wonder. The odds are too low for what you described to get it from that incidental contact, You should not worry.
