Reply To: HSV 2 and HPV Transmission Questions

[Health Inquirer]

Hello Terri,

Thank you very much.

You stated the 3rd scenario is the highest risk but still low risk (recopying 3rd scenerio for simplicity- If someone touches my genital region and then masturbates him/herself is it possible he/she contracted HSV 2 or HPV that way? ) Since getting hpv is more risky than hsv in this way, I am wondering if you were able to say roughly what the chances are of transmitting hpv in this way? For example, 1 in 10, 1 in 100, 1 in 10,000, and so on. Or if you don’t know for hpv if you know for hsv2?

I know you believe I am over thinking and I appreciate knowing that, but it helps my decision making process. 🙂

Thank you again for this service. My deepest gratitude to you, Terri.
