Can I be re-infected with HPV?

accreditation

If you or your partner is infected with HPV you will share it until the immune system gets rid of the virus. If you are in a monogamous relationship with each other you will not pass the virus back and forth. This is because you have become immune to that type of HPV. However, you will not be immune to getting other types of HPV.
