Can I become infected if someone touches me who is infected?

This will probably sound horribly rediculous, but I am just wondering if someone who has HPV accidently pokes me in the eye with their finger. Is it possible for me to now be infected?
Also should I avoid sitting on this person's bed, avoid touching certain things in their house or be washing my hands all the time?

Turkee cmon really?  You already answered the question yourself.  Ridiculious!  You will at some point get hpv anyway.

I was told it was transmitted through skin contact and not through fluid?
