HPV infection

	Asked by Unregistered (Female; 16298 ) on Sat 28, Feb 2009 07:08am
	Can a pregnant woman who just recently found out she has genital warts still perform oral sex on her partner, who shows no signs of HPV, without harming the unborn child?

	Answer by Dr. Malathesh K (doctor) on Sat 28, Feb 2009 07:22am: Human Papillomavirus (HPV), or genital warts, are contagious and can be spread during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. Although it is possible to transmit HPV through oral sex, it is less likely than through vaginal or anal sex. HPV seems to prefer genital or anal skin. So, there is a small chance that a pregnant woman with genital warts may pass on the virus orally to her partner, but the fetus will be unaffected regardless. Other than the warts possibly bleeding and/or enlarging, having HPV during pregnancy usually presents no problems. Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
