It is transmitted from skin to skin contact.

Once you have HPV is takes 18-24 months for the body to clear it's self. So yes you can pass it back and forth but not really since you and partner would have it for 2+ years probably.

thank you grace.  i was asking how it transmits.  from what i read, the virus stays on the skin - not passed through the fluids.   a second part to this question is whether or not you can pass the virus back and forth.
