Response from Dr. Dezube
 HPV is quite contagious. It is definitely able to be transmitted from partner to partner based on what you describe. The majority of folks who get HPV develop immunity to the infection and actually clear the virus. (This is in sharp distinction to HIV infection, which is rarely cleared from the virus by the immune system.) |
