HPV and fingering

[BRNIGRL1007]

Hello-

I have a question about how HPV is spread.  If a man has HPV and fingers a girl, can the girl get HPV?

I used my left hand to touch a guy's genitals while i maturbated with my right hand.  I washed my hands after and never touched my left hand to my genitals.  Could i have contracted hpv?  He had two small mole like spots on his shaft.

It is skin to skin contact, but the skin on the hands are very tough and often resist those type of infections. So HPV is really the gental region infection.

I thought that HPV was transmitted from skin to skin contact, including hands, but I was sure.  If you dont mind me asking, are you 100% sure that it cant be spreding through the hands like that?  I'm just a little worried.... :-/

HPV is not spread that way. It is spread through sexual intercourse. At best getting HPV from being masterbated would be rare and not worth thinking about.
