What is my risk of hpv?
Hi,
Can you get hpv from being scratched on the chest by someone who may have hpv? What if I briefly touch their genitals?
What is my risk?
Thank you

Actually no, you can but it is uncommon for brief contact of non-sexual touching. Most sexually active people will get HPV at some point in their life so with this event I would not be concerned in the slightest.

It was definitely sexual touching, but my genitals were not touched. I was scratch on the side of my chest, no blood, but there was visible scratching, and I did touch their genitals briefly but backed away right after.
By sexual touching I mean intimately...... Like mutual masturbation.
I'm absolutely confused by what happened here, but if your genitals didn't touch their genitals, there is no risk.
