can i still have sex with my bf even tho i have HPV?

Answer 1

i have hpv too. it sucks!

i have a high-risk strain that causes cervical cancer. i had to get LEEP surgery to have the pre-cancerous cells removed. i've never had warts- this kind doesn't produce warts. i never had any symptoms at all.

anyway, he can catch it. if you use a condom, there are studies that show you cut the risk way down, but since it is a skin disease and there is still skin contact where the condom doesn't cover, he could still catch it from you.

you need to make sure he knows you have hpv and what the risks are. for men, unless he gets warts, there are no signs of hpv and little to no risk of any kind of cancer. the only problem for them is that they become carriers and then give it to other women they sleep with.

i slept with my boyfriend twice before my pap came back and showed that i had hpv, so we figured he was probably already infected, but we use condoms anyway.

if you have sex, as i said, use condoms to cut down the chances that he'll get it. unless there are warts involved, he won't know if he has it, and there is no test for men, so there's no way he could know. that also means there's no way for you to screen future partners before you have sex with them. it is a roll of the dice every time.

Answer 2

It's really unlikely that he does not have it. I can't even imagine that he wouldn't. It isn't the least bit strange for people, especially men, to contract HPV and never show symptoms or only ever have one or two outbreaks. Personally, I'm a condoms-forever type. They really aren't inconvenient and don't affect sex enough to risk not using one. I don't believe they inhibit trust or are a sign of distrust. I see them as keeping everyone safe no matter what. That said, if you two are monogamous, truly trust each other enough to take that risk and both want to then go for it. Condoms don't protect against HPV or HSV so it's an irrelevant point regarding your HPV. The rest is just a matter of what makes you and your bf comfortable in your relationship.

Answer 3

depending on if u have the high risk or low risk strains,,,the situation differs..If u have a low risk strain (wart causing),,condom use can greatly lower risk in the case of no presence of active warts. If u have high risk hpv,,,at CIN1 u'll be most contagious..CIN2/3 would be less but still contagious, unless u get treated for CIN and have recurring normal paps, CONDOM USE IS DEFINITELY REQUIRED. But there is the risk that he can still catch it,,because it is a skin-skin contact disease.. However, just basic rubbing of the genitals is different and lower risk in terms of viral loads for transmission than vigorous thrusting( that can cause mircro-skin abrasions, excessive contact with infected fluid and such) as with unprotected intercourse...So, i can't tell you how much the use of a condom can lower risk...Strict condom use and post intercourse showers (that can wash off small viral quantities from basic skin contact) can help him out for a while...even for a long while. I've known a man who's been with a hpv positive woman for more than 2 years and with safe sexual pracises shows negative on several PCR tests ( not FDA approved research setting tests, not very accurate)

But in the end he should be aware of what's at stake,,,cos eventually at some point it "may" be spread...now,,,if he already has it and is a carrier (how do get a clue about that? ask him if he's been with someone who had abnormal paps or active warts unprotected). if he says yes....phooey....dont bother worrying just give the boy a good time. bada bing bada boom....

Answer 4

HPV is highly communicable. If you have sex with him without a condom, you can pretty much count on giving it to him. Fortunately for him, most strains will just cause a few little warts from time to time, and they usually go away by themseles. For women though, a number of the HPV strains have been shown to cause dysplasia of the cervix, which can cause cervical cancer if not treated. Make sure he know you have it, and all the risks involved. Use a condom.

Answer 5

Yes with a condom or ask your doctor about a new prescription for HPV. The virus can be transmitted through sexual contact and is a precursor to cancer of the cervix. Transmission has occurred without the presence of warts, indicating that transmission may occur through body fluids, such as cervical secretions.

Answer 6

If you dont tell him you have it then you cant have sex with him, that would be a horrible irresponsible thing to do. If you tell him and he decides that he still wants to then use a condom every single time so that he doesnt catch it.


good luck and happy new year!!!

Answer 7

HPV is a sexually transmitted disease...so the only option is for him to wear a condom.

Answer 8

u need to know if its in remission, and yes sex can be dangerous because h can still catch it.make sure he is aware fo the situatio and do some researchon it so that you can show him whts goingon

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

yes
but there's a HUGE chance he'll catch it
even with a condom being used.
