[Question #3963] HPV Transmission
84 months ago
|
Hello Doctors,
I have a question regarding HPV
transmission. I know HPV is transmitted by skin to skin contact. However, I am
still confused. I have a friend who I continue to have unprotected sex with. She
recently received her results for her pap smear. The results came back positive
for HPV. The doctor further examined her and confirmed that she had lesions on her
cervix. She will be receiving treatment soon.
I have heard of warts/lesions appearing
on the vulva, vagina, and cervix. However, I am confused to how the lesions
appear on these regions. My question here is whether the infected penis must
come in direct contact with the cervix to cause these lesions specifically to
the cervix? Or if these lesions can still appear on the cervix by the penis
simply entering the vagina without entering or hitting the cervix?
Thank You
