How can you catch HPV if you've been in a faithful relationship?
A person can have HPV for many years before it is found or causes health problems. So there is no way to know if your partner gave you HPV, or if you gave HPV to your partner. HPV should not be seen as a sign that you or your partner is having sex outside of your relationship.
If a girl had cervical cancer did her partner have HPV?
No, not necessarily. Cervical cancer is not always caused by the HPV virus and can be for a variety of reasons. Therefore, it is not necessarily because her partner has/had HPV, however this possibility should not be ruled out.
Can you get HPV using the rhythm method?
Yes you can get HPV using the rhythm method if your partner is infected with HPV.
Do you disclose an HPV infection?
It is most responsible to disclose an HPV infection. Know that most people contract their first HPV infection shortly after the first sexual contact. It is unlikely that your partner does not also have HPV.
Can you give hpv to your boyfriend?
HPV does not cause herpes and is an unrelated virus. Herpes is caused by HSV. If a woman has HPV or HSV, she could spread them to her partner during sex.
Is hpv contagous over saliva?
No. HPV is transmitted by skin to skin contact through vaginal, anal and oral sex with a partner who already has HPV.
How accurate are hpv tests if you don't have any symptoms yet?
There is no commercially available test to tell someone they don't have HPV. An HPV test is sometimes done in conjunction with a Pap smear. This test looks for high-risk HPV subtypes on the cervix. It can't tell you that you don't have HPV. Most people contract HPV soon after becoming sexually active. If you are sexually active, you have probably been exposed to HPV. There is nothing special you need to do if you have HPV. You should consider getting the HPV vaccine, using condoms or abstaining from sex, and, if you're female, should get pap smears regularly as advised by your women's health care provider.
Where do you get hpv?
HPV is passed on through genital contact-most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex. Since HPV usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV-and pass it on-without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.
When should you tell your partner about an std?
i would tell him right away ...
Can you transmit HPV if you've had normal paps for two years?
Yes you can still pass it on to your partner if you have unprotected sex. A pap smear can't tell you if you do or don't have HPV. A pap smear only looks for damage to the cells of the cervix caused by high-risk HPV. For instance, people with genital warts can have normal Pap smears.
If you and your partner both have hpv should you still use a condom?
Yes. Absolutely still use a condom. There are several different strains of HPV. Some cause nasty symptoms, some do almost nothing, and some can lead to cervical cancer.
Can a person with high risk hpv infect their partner after being treated?
There is no treatment or "cure" for HPV but young healthy individuals will often throw off the virus within two years. There is no sure way to tell when you are "cured", so there is a possibility you can still spread the virus.
