Can my stepson give my baby warts by touching him?

My 11 year old step son has warts on his hands and wrists. His dr treats him and they go away. But, I have an 11 month old baby that I'm concerned about. Can my stepson give my baby warts by touching him? Can my baby get warts by touching things my stepson has touched. I'm very worried!

There is a chance that he can infect the baby, this is because most treatments destroy the wart but don't kill the virus that causes the wart. I would suggest that you ask your doctor for ways to better prevent it from happening.
