Brief Answer:
Many serotypes of HPV.few Venereal,others nonsexua
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query
Without an intercourse or exchange of body fluids, HIV, Genital warts, Hepatitis and other STDs can not be transmitted, just by casual contact alone or through massage.
HPV has different serotypes (more than 100). Among which only few can cause genital warts that can spread through sexual route. Few other serotypes can be transmitted through ordinary skin to skin contact and not through sexual route and called as Veruca Vulgaris or Veruca plana (over palms and soles), or like some projection and called as filiform warts. These three types can be transmitted through casual contact, if the girl has such lesions over her fingers or hand.
