Dear Ask The Doctor: Me and my boyfriend have been having sex for 2 years and he was recently tested and was told that he has hp vgenital warts. i have been vacinated and we have had a baby so can i still get infected or did my daughter get infected.
Dear Miaete: It is important to know that the HPV vaccines protect against infection, and provide maximum benefit for those who are vaccinated before becoming sexually active. This is because these vaccines do not treat infections. If you received your vaccination before you got involved with your partner, you may be protected a 100% from the infection. Also the risk of transmitting the virus to the baby is considered very low, so your daughter may not have received the infection. |
