Thanks for the answer. I have few questions:
Is sex the only way that I got it from?
If treated/removed. Will there still be any risk to transmit it to someone else?
Do I need to go see a doctor or is there any cream or something I can get from pharmacies
Will HPV always be in my blood?
I'm getting married soon and don't want to transmit it to my wife. What can I do?
