Is HPV Transmitted Even Through Protected Sex?

default
Posted on Mon, 16 May 2016
Question: I was told that even if you use condoms with a an "escort", you can still contract HPV. Is this true? If I use a condom and the woman's bodily fluids come in contact with my skin is this an issue? I was planing to hire a professional high end escort, and I'm having some reservations after I heard of a horror story of someone who returned from the far east, (didn't know all the facts) he contracted HPV in Bangkok Like Hello, it's not Vegas cost him his marriage

Brief Answer:
possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Yes, HPV may be transmissed even if condom is used since this virus is also present on skin in genital area and around and it may be easily contracted. Of course, risk is reduced with condom use for 60%. Wish you good health. Regards
