Hand wart / handjob
Hi, I got handjob from a masseuse. Afterwards she told about having pain on finger, and it was a wart that she was treating on her finger. Is it possible that I get something from that to my genitals?

The strains of HPV that cause warts on the hands do not affect the genitals. You don't have anything to worry about here.

Thank you for the information and quick reply!
You're welcome. :)
I found some research (2019) about genital HPV on hands is possible. Even so is it still impossible to get HPV to genitals from hands?

In theory, it's possible. In reality, it doesn't happen.
HPV is incredibly common, and if you are worried about HPV, you should get the HPV vaccine. It's estimated that 90% of us will get it at least once in our lives, so if you qualify for it, you should get it.

Before masseuse came to massage me, she went to bathroom, and sounded like she washed herself.. After that sounded like she washed her hands. Washing hands with soap or without any soap put my in danger of HPV?
Washing hands is a good thing. It won't have anything to do with HPV, since we've already addressed that, but touching someone else with clean hands is always a good thing.
You're letting anxiety get control of you. There is no risk here. I don't know if you're worried about a regular partner or something, but guilt doesn't equal risk.

Yes, anxiety controlling me and I'm worried about regular partner. What makes me worried is if she touched her genitals before coming to massage me and is that washing hands enough to not make HPV transmitted from vaginal fluids etc.
Hi there - we have established that you are worried, and that hands to not transmit STDs, including HIV. We aren't able to offer continual reassurances in this forum.

Hand washing is enough for any STD. Hands don't transmit STDs that way even if she hadn't washed her hands.
You're fine. If you weren't, I'd tell you.
No judgement, but remember how lousy this is making you feel. Your mental health is important and it's obvious that going outside your relationship isn't a good idea for you.
