Can a woman give a man HPV? Yes, HPV can be transmitted from women to men through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. HPV is a very common virus, and most sexually active people will get it at some point in their lives. There are over 100 different types of HPV, and some types can cause genital warts, while others can lead to cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile, or anal cancers.
HPV is usually spread through skin-to-skin contact, so it’s important to use condoms during sex to reduce the risk of transmission. HPV can also be spread through sharing sex toys, so it’s important to clean them thoroughly before and after each use. There is no cure for HPV, but the vaccine can protect against the most common types of HPV that cause cancer.
