The human papilloma virus infection is life-lasting. The symptoms might never appear again after the initial episode. That does not mean that the virus is completely removed from the body. It only means that it is dormant in the body, waiting for a chance (decreased immunity) to reveal itself again through the very same symptoms.


Having intercourse with someone who is infected, usually means infecting yourself, too. The only way to reduce the chance for transmission is a vaccine. One of the disadvantages of the vaccines is that they do not protect against every type of Human papilloma virus. They protect only from the one that are found to be most often responsible for causing conditions such as cervical cancer.


In the end, the bumps do not necessarily mean that you are infected with human papilloma virus. You might want to visit your family doctor or a urologist to confirm or to exclude this diagnosis. If a human papilloma virus infection is confirmed, you might want to check for the type of the virus and see if it matches the one your girlfriend took the vaccine against.
