Not really. I suppose if that person then put their finger on their genitals they might run a risk. Genital warts prefer the skin on your gentials. They are not the same as the warts that might show up on your fingers and vice versa. You'll notice the skin on your hands is very different than the skin on your genitals.
Next time you and your partner do this - make sure they have no cuts on their fingers, and have them wash their hands right afterward. Better yet, if you're really worried - ask them to wear a latex glove!
HPV is passed on through genital contact-most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex. Since HPV usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV-and pass it on-without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.
Yes.
Human papilloma virus (HPV), the cause of Cervical cancer and genital warts, is contagious. You get it through skin to skin genital contact, not just intercourse, so condoms are only partially effective at preventing transmission.
What do you mean with high risk? An abnormal pap smear test? A visible genital wart?
You can always get HPV when your partner hasn't cleared up his/her HPV infection yet even when there's no visible genital wart.
According to the latest studies using DNA PCR test, 70% of people can clear up HPV infection within 1 year and the remaining 20% clear up HPV in the next year. It means only 10% of people need more than 2 years to clear up their HPV infection. If your partner antibody hasn't cleared up his/her HPV infection yet, he/she can still infect you.
Sadly, there's no commercial test available in the United States to check our HPV status. What you can do is for your partner to wait until he/she has been 6-8 months wart-free and he/she can consider him/herself to be clear by then. If she had high-risk HPV strain and her pap smear test came back abnormal, wait until it came back normal and there's no sign of HPV.
Keep in mind 50-80% of sexually active people have HPV already. They usually have HPV strains that don't cause genital warts but there are also asymptomatic infections (means infection without symptoms). Who knows you already have it? Having the HPV strain that cause genital wart but showing no symptoms doesn't mean you can't infect someone else.
Yes, you can pass HPV to a partner. HPV is spread by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person.
No. If what your partner tells you is true, you should not get HPV.
Yes; it is possible and likely.
No. If you have not had HPV and, you cannot pass along.
HPV does not cause herpes and is an unrelated virus. Herpes is caused by HSV. If a woman has HPV or HSV, she could spread them to her partner during sex.
Yes you can still pass it on to your partner if you have unprotected sex. A pap smear can't tell you if you do or don't have HPV. A pap smear only looks for damage to the cells of the cervix caused by high-risk HPV. For instance, people with genital warts can have normal Pap smears.
Cervical cancer is not contagious. However the virus, HPV, is sexually transmitted. There is a strong association between HPV infection and cervical cancer.
Yes you can get HPV using the rhythm method if your partner is infected with HPV.
A person can have HPV for many years before it is found or causes health problems. So there is no way to know if your partner gave you HPV, or if you gave HPV to your partner. HPV should not be seen as a sign that you or your partner is having sex outside of your relationship.
It can be HPV, however, it is difficult to determine by words, I suggest you visit a doc and get it examined. Remember HPV is a sexually transmitted disease so if your partner has similar symptoms it can be.

No, not necessarily. Cervical cancer is not always caused by the HPV virus and can be for a variety of reasons. Therefore, it is not necessarily because her partner has/had HPV, however this possibility should not be ruled out.
Most cervical cancer is caused by damage due to HPV. If the woman is still shedding HPV on the cervix, a man could get that strain of high-risk HPV.
Yes. Absolutely still use a condom. There are several different strains of HPV. Some cause nasty symptoms, some do almost nothing, and some can lead to cervical cancer.
Yes, HPV is still prevalent.
