Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Is there a risk that my mother could contract HPV type 45 after wearing my pants shortly after I had them on, even though I had small warts (now removed) caused by this virus?
Answered by Dr. Nopporn Apiwattanakul
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Direct Contact: The risk of HPV transmission through indirect contact, such as sharing clothes, is generally low.
Removed Warts: Since your warts caused by HPV type 45 have been removed, the likelihood of transmitting the virus through your clothing is further reduced.
Thanks
