A member asked:
High risk hpv viruses can hpv virus be transmitted from me to another person through sexual intercourse when it is dormant in my body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it can. By healhline website: in extreme cases, HPV may lay dormant in the body for many years or even decades. During this time, the virus is always reproducing within cells, and it can spread even if there are no symptoms.
