Recent CDC research contradicts your advice on hand to genital hpv transmission

[for_really]

Hi Doctors,

Nice site. I can't help but notice many contradictions between your advice in this forum and several credible sources. One such instance is the risk of hpv transmission through hand-to-genital contact. At least one CDC study recently found that hand-genital transmission of hpv was very much possible:

ED Journal Volume 14, Number 6–June 2008
Transmission of Human Papillomavirus in Heterosexual Couples
" Transmission between the hands and genitals, as well as apparent self-inoculation events (primarily in men), were also observed."

"Male-to-female transmission was observed in 7 couples. All infections transmitted from male to female partners originated in the penis with or without additional involvement of the scrotum. In particular, the penis shaft was a predominant source of infection either alone or with other genital sites. The cervix and anus were the most frequent targets of transmission from the men. Transmission of oncogenic HPV 16 comprised 1 of the 5 genital-to-cervix events. Male genital to female hand transmission was observed in 3 couples (D, E, and G)."

If there is documented proof of this type of transmission, don't you think it is inaccurate to tell people time and again that handjobs, massages, etc. pose "no risk" of STD transmission?
I also have always wondered whether of not you take into consideration other types of diseases when answering questions regarding the risk of visiting (potentially unsanitary) massage parlors and the like...surely contracting molloscum contagiosum and public lice is possible in this scenario.

I am in no way attempting to undermine your combined experience in this field, what the hell do i know anyway. I just found it odd that other highly credible sources directly contradict your position on the topic in their recent research.

I am very interested to hear your response, please let me know!
