Is HPV highly contagious?

Persistent infection with high-risk HPV can cause cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer, and high-risk HPV infection is contagious. HPV is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, which is the main mode of transmission; in addition, direct and intimate contact can also cause infection; indirect contact with public health products used by patients, such as toilets, bath towels, and bathtubs, may cause infection; in addition, there is the possibility of mother-to-child transmission, and infected mothers can pass the virus to newborns through vaginal delivery.

If you want to share a room, you must wear condoms to reduce the probability of cross-infection. And pay attention to perineal hygiene, pay attention to hand washing.
