A member asked:
Does a person need to have contracted genital warts in order for you to get them? what if your partner is still a virgin and neither of you have them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on details: Genital HPV viruses are common. That is why everyone from middle school up to age 26 (or age 45) gets vaccinated (self-pay if no insurance). If we define virgin as penis in the vagina, that doesn't exclude HPV infections due to contact of penis outside the vagina. Of course, as the song says, "Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'" so if neither person carries HPV, neither can infect the other.
