Brief Answer:
Regarding HPV infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

If there was no direct contact with the infected anal area there is less of a risk but since anal HPV infection may also involve genital skin due to close proximity so I cannot totally rule out that he didn't contracted HPV.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
