A member asked:
If i had a common wart in my childhood on my finger, does it mean i had hpv and i am contagious even now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The HPV family: HPV is a family of virus strains. Each strain will live in/on a selected tissue type. The common skin wart lives on the regular skin and can re-emerge in that or other skin locations in life. It is NOT GENITAL HPV, which includes many strains that usually clear their primary infection within 2 yrs but can re-emerge in genital tissue & be transferred sexually through life.
