could i have contracted hpv in this way?

by taketothesky, Aug 28, 2008 12:43PM
One night I was making out with a friend of mine, (she's a woman, as am I), and I didn't want to take it any further, so I didn't have sex with her.  However, if she had been touching herself, and then she touched me (which she did briefly, but I stopped her from going on any further, as I have a boyfriend and though he doesn't mind me making out with other women, anything else he doesn't like), could I have contracted HPV that way? I'm not even sure she HAS it (though she does sleep around a lot and chances are high that she does), and I'm not sure she even touched me with the hand that she may or may not have touched herself with, but what is the chance? She only touched me for about two seconds.

I have these two little weird bumps at the opening of my vagina now.  I tried to pick at them or pop them because I thought they were pimples, but they only bled and are not going away.  I'm really, really scared, and I have no idea how to tell my boyfriend.  I've had these bumps for less than a week, and they aren't getting any bigger, but they aren't going away.  I don't have any other bumps anywhere else.  I do have an appointment with a doctor, though, in about a week.

Also, my boyfriend has warts on his fingers.  Is it possible that I could have gotten warts there from his fingers?

I'm scared and confused.

Ok, good to know.

But what about the situation I described? Could I now have Hpv from that time?

Ok, if she touched herself and then touched you, I think it is possible to get hpv because of the direct contact.  If she used a different hand than the one she touched herself with, I think you're fine.  Everyone on this site has told me hpv cannot be spread by fingering, so in that situation, im pretty sure youre ok!

I would say the risk is highly unlikely! It is more likely they are just normal bumps/lumps. However if they are warts you could have contracted them from anyone of your partners, even your present BF as they can show no signs in some ppl and they can also lie dormant for months even years! Dont scratch at it, if its warts it can cause them to spread, otherwise you could damage them such that your doctor isnt able to diagnose you, then you'll be left wondering wether you did or didnt have warts...
Leave them alone and off to your doctor, he will know.
Good luck:)
