What Are The Chances Of Contracting Warts Through Body Massage?

Posted on Wed, 25 May 2016

Question: I gave a guy a body massage and we masturbated each others penises. I think he may of had warts on his body and on his genitalia . He had bumps that looked like they may have been. He said that he did not have them but I do not know if he would know. What are the chances of me catching the warts on my body or genitalia from this kind of contact ?

Brief Answer:
No real need to worry. Chances extremely slim to get infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,

I understand this could be disturbing. However, from your description, your chances of contracting the infection are very slim. In case there was no fluid exchange (saliva, mucus , blood), no need to worry. Touching only will not transmit the virus that causes warts.

No worries as I wish you the best of health.

Does does heavy rubbing or friction against my skin cause possible transmission of the wart virus

Brief Answer:
very unlikely for transmission to have occured

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query

It could cause transmission on condition that you both developed wounds during the process, which in my imagination would be rare.

I am still positive and think it's very unlikely for transmission to have occurred .

Thanks and kind regards
