HPV / GENITALWARTS

0 Recommendations

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find the answer to this;
Can a female who has been diagnosed with HPV but has no visual syptoms of genital warts, transfer genital warts to her male partner? If so can this be done even if protection is used during sex?
The other question I have is..... How exactly is HPV transmitted? I believe it is transmited by unprotected sex. But is there another way to get it?

genital warts can be transmitted to a partner at anytime mostly when warts are visible but there is a time right before or right after when no warts are actually visible but the virus is there, either starting or ending.

As long as the HPV is active, unfortunately yes.

And let's not forget about oral HPV transmitted from oral sex. Can cause oral cancer.
