HPV infection?

Hi I am after a little help and guidance.

I'm very worried about possibly passing on the HPV virus to someone unknowingly.

When I was much younger I had a bit of a fascination with women's underwear and would sometimes take a pair from a family members room to try them on. I can't be entirely sure I masturbated in them or not or if back then I was sexually active.

Its a thought that has recently entered my mind after years and years and now I can't seem to shake the fear I may have transmitted HPV.

The question I'm asking is can HPV be transmitted through dirty/soiled underwear?

Thank you for your time,

James

The chances are almost zero.  This disease requires genital skin to genital skin contact.
