All warts are not created equal; there are a variety of STRAINS of the HPV virus in existence. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that these two entirely different strains are "interchangeable" and can jump back and forth. Look at the H5-N1 strain of avian influenza, for example. The enormous worldwide concern is that this particular strain of virus (it’s DNA) – now or at some later point in time- is mutating to the point where an avian "host" is no longer required to transmit the disease. In other words, that this viral strain can be transmitted directly from human to human.
“The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) causes warts and a particular strain of this virus causes genital warts. Genital warts are relatively easy to detect; they are small lumps that typically have an irregular cauliflower-like surface. The colour and shape of a wart varies depending on its location on the body. Unlike men, who develop genital warts only on the surface of the genitals, women can have warts appear inside their vagina as well.”
The answer is yes, you can spread the wart. You can even move it down in your private area if you wipe with that hand.
Get it removed by the dermatologist that way you don’t worry about it.
HMMMmmm.
