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 currently 11 weeks pregnant and my ENT doctor has put me on Hicet AX tablets to take once a day for 57 days to help with a bad cough and cold I've been dealing with. I'm feeling a bit uneasy about whether this medication is actually safe to use during pregnancy. Can you let me know if it's okay to continue taking it while I'm in my first trimester?

You can take it no problem.
