i recently went to my gynecologist and well i was told that i had abnormal cells on the cervix and that hpv caused it. my doctor said that everybody has hpv if you had sex at least once. that is why you need to have that pap-smear done every year to detect cancer cells which are caused by this hpv virus (in between other things). so needless to say that you cannot avoid transmitting it to him since he already has it unless he has never had sex. don't quote me. i read about it and it enforces what my doctor said according to the info i got however educated and uneducated people will have different discussions about this. the best thing is to go see your own personal doctor and ask them these questions. good luck <positive_smiley>
what can be done to prevent hpv transmission to my partner? what are the risks if he is infected? . hello . i found out i have hpv from an abnormal pap smear. however i do not have genital warts or any external symptoms. i am currently in a monogamous relationship with a man. i was wondering what type of precautions should be taken to prevent spreading the disease to him and what are the risks if the disease is transmitted to him? i know it slightly increases the risks of some cancers in men but is there anything else to be concerned about? . thank you
