A member asked:

Can a baby be born with an std but not show any signs of an infection?

Dr. Jay Park answered

Yes: Chlamydia infant contracts from birth canal causes eye infection 1-2 weeks after birth and pneumonia in 1-3 months. Hpv infections in infants have variable incubation periods, 6 weeks or longer for laryngeal papillomatosis and months for condyloma.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
