Can HPV Be Transmitted Via Beard Shaving Razor? I Have

Posted on Thu, 9 Jan 2020
Question: Can HPV be transmitted via beard shaving razor? I have shared my razor in the past with my father who is infected. I myself am a veterinarian, but the papilloma viruses we deal with are not STD’s therefore I can apply my knowledge to this subject.
Thank you!
