I recently had a HPV test come back as High Risk after a routine exam. I have no warts, and no symptoms at all. I will have to go back in 3 months for a recheck, which I am not too worried about, but what could this mean for my husband? Is there any risk to him at all? Are there any precautions that we need to take?

I wasn't going to answer this until I saw some wrong info. CONDOMS WILL NOT PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION OF HPV(NOR HSV). Chances are he is already infected. What you need to do is to see your Doctor regularly. HPV is not a big deal, as long as you have your pap's done on a regular basis. As for your husband? Well he needs to talk to a Doctor as well about his risks, and what he should be watching for. This site has way too much wrong info on it for you to trust the people on here. Talk to a health care professional, better yet talk to two! Hope that helps. Condoms do protect against most STD's though including HIV, So I still recommend that everyone use them!

He probably already has the virus. 75-80% of the world has HPV and only about 20some% know about it. There really are no signs or symptoms of the virus, that is why most people don't realize they have it.

For men HPV can cause head and neck cancers, penile cancer and anal cancer. These are pretty rare though and usually occurr at a much older age (we're talking like 50 and over). He can also develop warts (genital, hand and feet) but these can be treated with medication.

HPV is most harmful to women, mainly because of the cervical cancer. 300,000 women die every year from it. I got cervical cancer when I was just 17 years old from my HPV.

if you and your husband are having unprotected sex he will have the virius also. Also you are at risk for cervical cancer. It doesn't matter if you have symptoms or not. He really wont have any affects besides maybe warts, and could be at a risk of genital cancer. For the most part he can just give the disease if he were to sleep with anyone.

Penile cancer. Condoms are the only way to prevent transmission.
