Unfortunately, condoms do not reliably protect against HPV because they do not protect all potentially infected areas of skin in the genital area. Nevertheless, they can reduce the risk of infection and of course protect against many other sexually transmitted diseases.
Since 2007, there has been the possibility of vaccination for all those who have not yet been infected. However, this vaccination only protects against an initial infection or against a new infection. According to the current state of knowledge of medical research, vaccination does not improve the chances of healing an existing infection. It is therefore only useful as a preventive measure and is not suitable as a therapy.
