  1. Transmission: Yes, a man can transmit HPV to a woman through sexual contact. HPV spreads primarily through skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or oral sex.

  2. Asymptomatic Carriers: Many individuals with HPV do not show symptoms but can still pass the virus to their partners.

  3. Prevention: Using condoms can reduce the risk but does not eliminate it completely, as HPV can infect areas not covered by a condom.

  4. Vaccination: HPV vaccines are available and recommended to protect against the most common and high-risk types of HPV.

For concerns about HPV, consult a healthcare provider for testing, prevention, and management options.

I've been on Femilon tablets for the last two months to prevent pregnancy. I always get my period two days after finishing the pack. When should I start taking the tablets again after my period ends? Also, is it a problem if I delay restarting them by a day or two? Are there any potential side effects or issues with this?
