HPV by door knob- transmission?

Last year, I made a joke at school putting my penis on the doorknob of the bathroom when the teacher was trying to open. Anyway, today I am scared because I remembered this occasion and I was thinking, and if I have HPV or something else, it's possible that I have passed through it to other students? I'm a virgin, but I will do this test soon, just wanted to clarify that. I have no symptoms, but still I'm afraid that someone may have wronged it.

thank you

Hello,
HPV is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, usually during sexual intercourse. It can also be transmitted through oral sex. It cannot be spread by kissing, toilet seats, bedding, door knobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, shared clothing or eating utensils.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
