Protection against HPV with barriers

Unread post by SuzE »

Have you found a barrier to use with sex that will protect against HPV transmission? Perhaps one that can go on before a condom to cover genitals?

Hi there SuzE,

There aren't any barrier methods that will completely cover the genital area and protect against HPV transmission, but you can read about how to reduce your risk of contracting HPV over at HPV & Herpes: Why Safer Sex Isn't Always Enough.
