Yes, you can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. HPV can be passed even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms. You also can develop symptoms years after you have sex with someone who is infected. This makes it hard to know when you first became infected.

I'm wondering if it's safe to use a belly belt after delivering a baby, especially when I'm also considering family planning. Are there any risks or things I need to be cautious about?

Using a belly belt after delivery can provide support and help with post-partum recovery, especially for abdominal muscles. However, it's important to consult your healthcare provider before using it, especially if youve had family planning procedures, to ensure it's safe and suitable for your specific recovery needs.
