December 23rd, 2009
When learning about genital warts, one should know that they can be transmitted by both females and males. Because of the nature of womens body, genital warts are far more prevalent in females. Men however, can end up becoming carriers of the warts, which are derived from HPV. If you are a woman who has been involved in sexual relations with a partner who has HPV, then you should know that your infection might not stop with you. Women who have become pregnant have passed these warts off to their children during childbirth. Once this happens, the newborn can get infected in such areas where the virus can thrive, including their mouth and throat. In some cases, it has been seen that genital warts have been spread during unclean practices. Some reports have shown that medical equipment that has not been properly cleaned and/or sanitized can lead to the transmission of the disease. While the most common transmission of the virus is through sexual contact with an infected person.
