Just FYI, the vaccine (Gardasil 9) protects only against the 9 most common and dangerous variants of HPV. There are over 100 different known variants of HPV and every sex worker you encounter will already have a whole zoo of them (regardless of what they might think or tell you...). Over time, you are practically guaranteed to pick up a couple of those HPV variants yourself and pass them on to your partner. However, most people never develop any serious symptoms because usually a healthy and strong immune system completely, or at least almost completely, suppresses these viruses. Same as for Herpes.If you have received the HPV vaccination(s), and you are later exposed via a sex worker to the HPV strains that these vaccinations protect against (so you have protection), can you still be a transmission vector afterword to your partner ? I'm thinking yes, because the virus can still be on your skin, and so can be transferred to another person, just like any virus. So, if you wash yourself thoroughly, to what extent would that eliminate the threat of passing this virus to another person ?

but does that suggest if you grow elderly, with then weakened immune, do those warts flare up?
