Hand's

After fingering, masturbation, or using the restroom is using germ-x as good as hand washing or should I wash my hands?

I found the below reply from Dr Hook by a person asking the same question as  also has HPV.

HPV infections tend to occur on target surfaces., thus you really are not at risk for either getting infected on your hands or other body parts, nor for transmitting it to others on your hands. the hygiene measures you are pursuing are overkill.

Antibacterial soap is better than regular soap in cleaning hand surfaces
