A member asked:
If a person contracts hpv and received the gardasil shot can they still give their virus to your partner ? ( no warts)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There are dozens of HPV strains & only a limited number in the vaccines. If you acquired HPV before or after your shots & that strain was active in your tissues, you could spread it to a partner. Getting a shot that contained a strain you already had will not cure it or prevent it from transfer.
