Fingering and STDs---Please help me, I'm totally freaking out
I'm a 24 year old VIRGIN. Just the other night, I 'fingered' a woman who has HPV; looking back, it was a tremendous mistake. I'm very conscious of disease, etc, so I washed my hands for 3 straight minutes after. On my way home on the train, I was careful not to touch any other part of me. Home, I immediately took a shower, scrubbed my hands with disinfectant repeatedly, then slept. There are no cuts on my hand at all (thank goodness), but I'm still worried. Nothing else happened that night; my clothes stayed on the whole time and I didnt even kiss the woman.
Is there ANY possible way that HPV can be spread through fingers or the hand? As I said, I have no cuts or scrapes, but could it be spread via the fingernails?
Please respond if you have a chance--ANYONE

Let me interject here and say all warts that you get is from HPV. So even if you did get it on your finger it's not a big deal because you can go to a store and buy something that will help clear up any warts on your fingers.
But your chance of getting it would be very very low.
