Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern about getting infection by touching warts. Plane warts are not so infective and do not spread by superficial touching. Genital warts are transmitted by sexual route most commonly and by famines where there is sharing of towels and linen with infected individual. Do not worry unnecessarily. Very fewer chances of getting infected. Thanks.
