What is the likely that i transmit and give hpv if i don't have cin (infection)? how do i know that it's dormant??

Hard to say/ can't: People can spread HPV during any period when they are shedding the virus. People can shed intermittently or go dormant and never pass it. No one can know for sure when or if they are shedding virus.
