Welcome to our Forum and thanks for your question.  The internet is certainly misleading on this topic, as it is on many more.  I'll do my best to help.  In reading your question, I note that you do not mention whether or not you have HPV, nor whether or not you have taken the HPV vaccine.  By way of background, I must point out that for sexually active persons who have not had the vaccine, they will almost certainly get HPV at some time in their lives.  Even monogamy is not protection if one's partner has had other partners. That said, the infection only rarely leads to serious consequences and those can be managed very well with regularly scheduled PAP smears and HPV testing.  Thus it is a widespread problem that we try hard to encourage clients to not worry about.  That advice extends to questions about non-sexual transmission of the virus.

As for your question, HPV is first, foremost and almost always acquired through DIRECT, UNPROTECTED sexual contact.  While in the same way that I cannot tell you that you will not be struck by lightening today, I cannot tell you that HPV is never acquired through indirect means such as contact with a contaminated surface or transfer on a partners hands HOWEVER, those events are so incredibly rare that they are not something to worry about.   99.99%  (i.e. less than 1 in 10,000 such contacts) of the sorts of situations you describe will not lead to transmission of infection. Thus we classify non-sexual transmission as something that virtually never happens and should not be a concern. 

To elaborate on your specific questions:

Thanks for your follow-up information and questions.  I hope my initial responses were helpful and will try to build on them.  I will also add that I appreciate just how hard it is to stay of the internet, as well as to discern what is correct and what's not when we see it there.

The information on spread, and potential for spread by inanimate objects has brought attention to the fact that this does occur, albeit quite rarely.  Unfortunately, what so many of those reports lack is perspective. The FACT is that such spread is rare and when studied in the context of all risks for HPV acquisition is inconsequential.

HPV is not spread through blood.  Any suggestion that it is in incorrect.  If a visible wart is bleeding, there are no data to suggest that this makes spread easier.    Same for bleeding through clothing.

On occasion women seeking evaluation of a discharge are found to have HPV or warts but that is coincidental.  HPV does not cause discharge. Glad you asked.
