can hpv / genital warts be passed down from birth?

April 22, 2009 by admin 

I've got a friend who has white bumps on his scrotum that he has had from birth. He says his father has them too supposedly.

So to rule out the possibility, can HPV (human papilloma virus) or Genital Warts be passed on from birth, or are these things only contracted from sexual intercourse.

    yes! it is possible if mother during labor has visible genital warts , BUT after passing from birth warts can only appear in baby's mouth or/and trout – not in genital area….
