A member asked:

Can hpv be transmitted after the affected uterus has been removed? can any docs explain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Having a hysterectomy does not "cure" HPV, it just removes the area most affected by it (the cervix). Your ability to transmit HPV depends on how your body sheds the virus and what kind of contact occurs.
