Dear Dr. Hunter,

I previously asked you about HPV and had been free of worry for a year. Four days ago, an unknown woman gave me a short handjob at my club (no genital contact or penetration). Duration was ~40–60 seconds. My penis had slight scratches/redness from her long fake nails; no other symptoms, and I had showered beforehand. My questions: 1) Is there any risk of HPV transmission from this? 2) Would the risk increase if her hand contacted someone else before or she didn’t wash her hands? 3) Does the slight scratch increase risk?

Thank you for your advice.
