Hi FRiend,
You cited an older study.

Here is a more recent one.

High risk genital papillomavirus infections are not spread vertically
Dillner J.1, *, 2; Andersson-Ellström A.3; Hagmar B.4; Schiller J.5
Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 9, Number 1, March 1999 , pp. 23-29(7)
Abstract: ... The conclusions arrived at can be summarised as:
(1) There is overwhelming epidemiological evidence that
the only quantitatively important mode of transmission of infection
with oncogenic genital HPV types is sexual.
(2) There is also evidence that benign genital HPV types
can be transmitted sexually, but the epidemiological data
on the benign virus types are less extensive and less clear.
(3) Perinatal HPV transmission is unequivocally demonstrated
only for the rare disease juvenile respiratory papillomatosis.

Thanks for the link. I’ll continue to check it out.

There is still the other issue: males can be unwitting carriers for years, and their female partners, even in a monogamous marriage can be infected.

That doesn’t exhonerate the male, but it does suggest that using a vaccine does not mean a young lady is being given a green light to be promiscuous.
