Dear Blue123,

It is very unlikely that you could get it this way and you probably don't need to be worried.

However, I should mention that there was a study suggesting that it is possible to transmit HPV from the fingers to the genitals. In 2010, scientists from the University of Washington found that HPV could be found on the fingertips of a reasonable fraction of women -- and that the HPV found there was frequently the same type that they were infected with genitally.

I am sure that you are okay, but you can check with your doctor just to be sure.

Did this answer your question?

Best,

Kristin
