What are the chances that I got HPV from my current boyfriend?
I have been with this guy for 4 1/2 years now. I have not had sex with anyone else since 7 months before I got with this guy. I have paps done every year and have never had an abnormal pap until last july. My boyfriend slept with someone else while we were together and it was a year before my last pap. I want to know if anyone else thinks that I got HPV from this girl?
I also have HPV. The problem with HPV is that you can’t really tell who passed it on to who because it normally lies dormant in your body till it decides to come out. I had never been with anyone before I met my bf of 7yrs and on our 2nd I was diagnosed with HPV and I had pre-cancerous cells. Yet, I’ve never had Genital Warts. Your best bet is to get the new vaccine Gardasil like I did and at least you are at less risk of catching cervical cancer later on in life. take it easy…BTW I also have herpes. =/
You got it from your boyfriend not from the other girl. Be sure he lets the other girl know that if he tests positive for HPV so that she can go get a pap if she hasn’t had one recently.
i also have hpv. and my doctor said like others have already said, that it lies dormat. especially until your immune system is down. if you smoke, it’s more likely to be a problem because smoking lowers your immune system. i think i got it through my ex husband, but it didn’t show up for years after the divorce. i have had dysplasia more than once on a pap. i didn’t realize the new shot could help someone already diagnosed with hpv. if this is true, i would like to learn more about it if anyone knows for sure. continue to get regular paps now for sure, so that you don’t end up with cervical cancer.
Unless you had sex with that girl, you got it from your boyfriend. He is the one who slept with someone else and didn’t bother to use a condom with either of you. It could also have come from your previous partner and was dormant until now. Why don’t you focus on what is important. Get treated and start practicing SAFE SEX! Next time it might be herpes or HIV. Good Health.
It’s hard to say. Like everyone has said, HPV can lay dormant for weeks, months or even years. He could have contracted it from her and passed it on to you or you could already have gotten it from anyone else you’ve had genital to genital contact with.
To clear up some confusion from everyone else’s answers. You can get the Guardisil vaccine if you have one type of HPV. It won’t TREAT the strand of HPV that you have, but it will prevent you from contracting any of the other types it protects against in the future. Remember that it is currently only approved for a certain age group. Next, safer sex does not always prevent the transmission of HPV. HPV is transmitted through any type of genital to genital contact(doesn’t have to be sex!), and because the condom only covers the male penis, HPV is still likely to be transmitted. The only way to protect yourself is to get the vaccine if you can and limit the number of sexual partners. The more partners you have or your partners have had, the more likely you are to contract HPV.
Good luck, hope everything goes well with the Pap and the boyfriend![](http://helpforgenitalwarts.com/genital-warts-treatment/
