A member asked:
If i've had all 3 hpv shots before i was sexually active, is there a chance i could still get genital warts ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : However less likely. There are dozens of hpv's and the vaccines under question target the ones that are implicated in female cervical cancer. The vaccines do not confer immunity to some of the hpv's that can cause genital warts.

Ive heard HPV can be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. So, if a caregiver has HPV, can I or my children get it by being around her? No sexual intimate interactions but hugging or holding? Is all HPV considered as STD even flat warts on the face?
