 [ Symptoms ] 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 [ Disease ] you should be ejaculating since you are not and i am assuming that you have never ejaculated in three years during masturbation there could be a problem one possibility is retrograde ejaculation   a condition where the semen is ejaculated backwards into your urinary bladder and not out of your urethra there are other possibilities of course but this cannot be solved on line this may not be an issue that can be solved by a your primary care provider so i suggest that you see a urologist
