HPV transmission

I have done enough research on this forum and found out that  STDs including HPV cannot be transmitted through handjob, but to my surprise i found that HPV can be transitted through handjob in the forums of 'American Social Health Association' which
DR Hunter suggested had suggested as authentic in one of the forum,below is the link,  please address this, i am getting nervous as i had a handjob two days ago.

First, the Doctors recommended the website itselft, not the forums. I don't know much about the ASHA forums. Are the moderators doctors? The users certainly are not.

Browse through the posting on MedHelp's expert STD forums. Dr Hook and Hunter have discussed the handjob question many times.

Basically there is a theoritcal chance of HPV spreading this way, but in practice it doesn't happen.

Handjobs should be considered safe. There is nothing to worry about.

is it true that HPV can reside in the fingernails because the handjob i got from the massage parlour was rough  and i developed a scratch on my mucous membrane of penis top, so is it more likely that i may develop it.

i can happen but its extremly rare, just like oral sex, you could pass it along but its not likely.... even in that other forum you were in i didnt see any type of doctor that you were speaking to just another person like you do here. on medhelp you can speak with doctor but you need to go to your personal doctor with questions.if you dont have any warts or dont get an outbreak with in the next 6 months then i would say that your ok, but your doctor cannot say you have genital warts until they start to appear on you. unless your partner had visible warts on their hands and then gave you a hand job... i would worry so much , next time use protection of you dont wanna stress out ....good luck
