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.
-
Asymptomatic Carriers: Many individuals with HPV do not show symptoms but can still pass the virus to their partners.
-
Prevention: Using condoms can reduce the risk but does not eliminate it completely, as HPV can infect areas not covered by a condom.
-
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.

View allCan someone actually get pregnant if there's no penetration involved but just rubbing a naked penis around the vulva? I've heard that precum could be a factor, so how real is the risk here? I'm kinda worried and curious about how this works.
Yes, it is possible to get pregnant from genital rubbing if precum (pre-ejaculatory fluid) comes into contact with the vaginal area. While the chances are lower compared to direct penetration, sperm in the precum can still lead to pregnancy.

I had a medical abortion a few days ago. I took mifepristone and misoprostol as instructed, but I haven't had any stomach cramps and only noticed slight bleeding for 45 hours. I've been feeling nauseous and even vomited a couple of times, but not right after taking the tabletit was about 3 hours later. The kit I used had 1 mifepristone, which I took two days before, and 4 misoprostol tablets that I took two each with a 78-hour gap in between. I'm really worriedis the abortion successful? If it isn't, what should I do? Is it okay to repeat the process?
To confirm if the abortion was successful, you should follow up with a healthcare provider for an ultrasound examination. If the abortion was not successful, your healthcare provider may recommend a surgical procedure to complete the abortion. It is not safe to repeat the medical abortion process without consulting a healthcare provider. It is important to seek medical advice to ensure your safety and well-being.
