A member asked:
Is there a limit to how many strains of hpv you can have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Public health issue: There is no limit except the number of strains that exist. But HPV is preventable, first by never coming into contact with it, secondly by being vaccinated. One need not worry about catching too many strains if one has only one sexual partner and the partner also does not have another partner. Only with multiple partners does the issue of catching many strains happen. Thus, it is preventable.
