How are HPV genital warts transmitted?

Answer 1

By skin-to-skin contact. A condom is still the best protection but does not cover all the areas of skin during intercourse. The best way to prevent against getting hpv is to abstain from sex, although extremely unrealistic.

HPV, the Human Papilloma Virus, is the most common sexually transmitted disease. It can be spread simply by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person.
You can develop HPV through intercourse or any other form of genital touching. HPV is technically an STD, although you do not need to actually have intercourse to contract it. In most cases, HPV will clear up on its own. Talk to your doctor for more information.

Answer 2

HPV is passed on through genital contact-most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex. Since HPV usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV-and pass it on-without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.

Answer 3

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is what causes genital warts. HPV is easily transmitted. In fact you can be exposed to HPV by having genital contact just once with another person that has the virus. The only way to protect yourself from getting HPV is to avoid any sexual activity that involves genital contact.

According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), condoms may lower the risk of HPV if used all the time and the right way. But HPV can in fact infect areas that are not covered by a condom- so condoms may not fully protect against HPV.

HPV often has no signs or symptoms. Because it is not easy to tell who has it, any contact with an infected person could put you at risk.

If you think you have been infected with HPV, contact your doctor immediately.

The ones that are transmitted sexually can cause cancer.
