6 months hpv wart free, safe to have sex?

[Milly7676]

After a stupid mistake I had an affair and I had some 5 very small warts removed and now clear just over 6 months. I've also just had a clear Pap smear. Through various reasons I'd rather not get into I haven't told my husband and not slept with him in about 8-9 months so I am very certain it was the fling I contracted it from and my husband has been saved from it

Moving forward things are starting to improve with our relationship, can a medical practitioner please tell me am I save to have unprotected sex with him. I keep reading about the 6 month clearance and that the body have fought it off if you get over the 6 month mark. Is this true? Am I cleared? Could I transmit the virus still?

This is breaking me down mentally I'm constantly thinking about it, terrified another bump is going to appear

Can anyone who got to this timeframe tell me when they had unprotected sex again?

With no bumps after 6 months, it is safe to have sex again however this does not mean you won't become infectious (more warts) again. The term "clearance" means your body successfully fought the virus and stopped more warts from appearing. But the virus never leaves the body. Warts could come back years/decades from now or they won't. No one can predict which outcome but the % of people who are never infectious again is around 90%. Assume the best and hope the worse never occurs. That is all anyone who has had warts or the high risk strains can do. Good luck!

Do you mean infected with a new strain (if sleeping with a new partner) or another outbreak from the original infection Do you mean infections with a new strain or another outbreak from original infection

Outbreak from original infection.
