STD: HOW IS MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM TRANSMITTED?
The virus is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact with a person who is infected, whether or not that person has symptoms. The virus can also be transmitted through the saliva of a person with facial molluscum. It is also believed that the virus can be transmitted through inanimate objects, such as towels. Multiple members of the same family often become infected, either through direct contact or from inanimate objects.
In adults, when the lesions are in the genital area, lower abdomen, or upper thighs, the infection has usually (though not always) been transmitted through sexual contact. The risk of molluscum infection increases with the number of sexual partners that a person has. Children with molluscum on the face may develop lesions in the genital area, most likely by transmitting the virus there themselves.
