I have HPV, warts around the anus, but inactive according to my gynecologist who says my HPV is dead. Is it contagious?

The term "dead" in this context likely means that the virus is no longer active or causing symptoms. However, it is important to note that even if the virus is inactive, there is still a risk of transmission to others. Some strains of the virus may stay in the body indefinitely, even if they are not currently active. Therefore, the risk of transmission cannot be completely ruled out.
