Brief Answer:
Handjob and massage are safe sexual practices

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have gone through your query and I have undrstood it.

As far as skin to skin contact during massage and practice of handjob is concerned these are considered to be absolutely safe practices with regard to risk of an STD including Hpv. Hpv is usually transmitted by skin to skin contact with an infected sexual partner during sexual intercourse. Not through a handjob.

The only possibility that exists for transmission of Hpv through a handjob is if the lady in question did'nt wash her hands and had virus on her hands from someone else prior to you.

Brief Answer:
Chances would be very less for indirect transmission through hands

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

It is difficult to determine chances of virus transmission purely with a handjob through contaminated hands, towels etc because most people also practice other forms of sex e.g vaginal, oral or anal during the same secusl encounter therefore chances from only an indirect kind of sexual contact such as a handjob are not exactly known but they would be very less even if she didnt washed her hands.
Hpv virus can survive outside body for many days.

Brief Answer:
Hopefully not

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Hopefully not.
As I said the risk of acquiring Hpv from indirect contact through a handjob is very low (and probably only theoretical) so the chances of this possibility of transmitting Hpv to your girfriend are very low too.
