A member asked:
Can hpv be transmitted to a partner even with the use of protection?

HPV is too small: Yes. Hpv can permeate through condoms. Safe sex does not protect you from hpv infection or transmission.

Yes: I've seen data suggesting condoms only provide only 70% protection. There is none if there are sores/lesions not covered by the condom.
