HPV infected person is essentially contagious for life.
People with asymptomatic infection can still pass the virus, but, the ones with visible lesions-genital warts are more contagious.
Try to avoid sex during the out break of warts.
If you choose to be sexually active after they disappear, always use condoms.
Condoms may lower the risk of HPV, if used all the time and the right way. Condoms may also lower the risk of developing HPV-related diseases, such as genital warts and cervical cancer. But HPV can infect areas that are not covered by a condom—so condoms may not fully protect against HPV (scrotum, vulva, perianal area)
Try to boost your immune system!
