Question:
Answers:
HPV is passed fairly easily. Most people don't realize they have it and end up spreading it unknowingly.
The best way of preventing the spread of HPV (other than abstinence of course) is by always using condoms. This doesn't always happen though, take for example a couple trying to get pregnant.
And, since the condom only covers the penis and not the whole genital area, it's possible for the partner to contract HPV by the skin to skin contact of the genital area. HPV can be passed by sex and direct skin to skin contact with the area. So, the rubbing of the genital area alone cause cause her to contract the virus from you.
Remember HPV can be spread whether there are warts or not.
You know there is a new vaccine available for HPV. The vaccine is called Gardasil and is made by Merck and Co. It protects against 4 different kinds of HPV. 2 kinds are known to cause about 70% of cervical cancer and the other 2 kinds cause about 90% of genital warts. I've heard it has so far had great results! Maybe you and her should look into her getting this vaccine.
yes you will
