HPV Transmission

[joeykhan84]

I've done a bit of research on this website on how genital and common warts can be transmitted and comments by some of the doctors (like Dr Hook) seem like they contradict the PATHOGEN SAFETY DATA SHEET put out by the PHAC

Comments such as: HPV not being able to spread by kissing, toilet seats, bedding, door knobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, shared clothing or eating utensils seem to contradict the resilience of the virus portrayed oh the PHAC website: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/papillome-eng.php

Can anyone please help me understand this contradiction?

Thanks so much!

Relevant Quotes:
1.> "MODE OF TRANSMISSION: ... exposure to contaminated clothing as the virus may be carried on fomites"
2.> "SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: HPV is resistant to heat and drying, and is able to survive on inanimate objects such as clothing and laboratory equipment that have come in contact with infected patients"


This discussion is related to HPV transmission through skin cells and water vapor?.

Hi again, the below is from the CDC

How do people get HPV?
You can get HPV by having sexual contact – like vaginal and
anal sex— with someone who has it.
 Any man or woman who has ever been sexually
active can have HPV and pass it on to their partner.
 You can have HPV, even if years have passed since
you were sexually active.
You CANNOT get HPV from:
• Toilet seats
• Kissing on the mouth, hugging, or holding hands
• Being unclean (bad hygiene)
• Sharing food or utensils
• Swimming in pools or hot tubs
• Family history (heredity)

Hi and welcome. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says
HPV is passed on through genital contact, most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex and genital-to-genital contact. HPV can be passed on between straight and same-sex partners—even when the infected partner has no signs or symptoms.
The Doctors are in agreement.
Ive seen mixed information about different diseases but when im in doubt i go by the CDC.
The biggest concern, and i feel the most important, is the connection between HPV and cervix cancers.
There are many types of HPV from the common wart on the finger and others. Each have there own basis and risks. Maybe these are the ones your reading about. The different types of HPV.
