Can HPV be Transmitted through childbirth to children, to partner through oral sex and genital touching, and back and forth between partners, and prevented through use of condoms?

	Asked by Unregistered (Female; 40; Diagnosed with HPV 2 years ago, no warts present but suspect areas on cervix, treated with LEEP procedure 1 1/2 years ago.; Relevant drugs:none ) on Mon 16, Jun 2008 11:20am :
	I am a 40 y.o. woman who was diagnosed with HPV and have beed cleared after having the LEEP procedure. There is very little specific information on how it is transmitted. Can it be transmitted by oral sex, by hand to genital touching? My boyfriend of 4 years must have it, too, since we have had unprotected sex and may be the one who gave it to me. As I am treated, am I then getting it back with continuing to have unprotected sex with my him? If I use a condom, can we still pass it on? As I don't know when I acquired it, and my 8 y.o.daughter has a plantar's wart, does that mean that she could have HPV, too, from when I gave birth to her? So many questions. Help. Thanks very much
