How does HMP spread?
HMP is primarily spread during sexual contact, whether it is vaginal, anal or oral sex. Having unprotected sex with an infected person can easily cause the virus to enter the body. Sometimes the virus is present in the body but does not cause any symptoms, due to which a person can unknowingly infect his partner.
What are the symptoms of HPV in men?
