Anyone Of You Ever Have Sex Again After Get Cured And Prove It?

Hi everyone,

i am aware that HPV can clear up on its own after 1-2 years and we can consider ourselves to be free from HPV if we never had any other recurrence in 6-12 months..I want it to be true since most doctors say stuffs like this LOL

to be honest, I dont think too much about my genital warts anymore, since I know it's only cosmetics and i never had more than 7 warts at the same time. They were also always small in size so I dont really mind and of course I always got them treated by going to dermatologist whenever I had new outbreak. I really hope I'd be healed soon as i never had any new wart recently in the last few months..

so enough about the story and let's go to the point...

Problem is, how do I know if I'm "healed" already then I can't be contagious anymore? I know dr.hunter and dr. edward in medhelp told us that we are no longer contagious if our antibody system has been able to clear up our HPV infection but I really would like someone to share his/her REAL experience here about this..

Anyone of you never had new outbreak in the past 8 months? If yes, have you already had sex with your partner and then your partner never showed up any wart? I'm really curious and would like to know personal stories other than just claims from doctors...please don't tell me to "just trust the doctors", i do trust them but I really would like to know personal stories as I don't want to guess too much and really would like to believe from real experience.

i would agree with vandykd3. You are wrong isitoveryet79, that's called logical fallacy.

Do you remember swine flu? When there was swine flu outbreak in 2009, people get quarantined until they got healthy again. once they were healthy, they were released and they lived normal life again ever since. If a virus can still get passed on EVEN after the host's antibody has taken care of the virus, how on earth there were no follow up outbreaks everywhere considering these people SHOULD HAVE SPREAD the swine flu to people around them?

and asymptomatic infection is unlikely. There are silent carriers but they are only about 30-40% of people who have these HPV strains that cause genital warts. (read my question in expert forum, real doctor answered that statistical question) So whenever you see someone who never had genital wart but actually she has the genital wart-causing HPV strain, that someone is part of the 30-40%. Most people, once they acquire a virus their body never understand before, WOULD definitely grow genital warts.

I disagree actually.  Between infections you are not contagious although there is a small chance you may be.   It's like herpes in that regard.  You can't get herpes if the person is between outbreaks. I should know, my brother's wife has it and he went fourteen years of intercourse before he got it.  Whereas all you say is potentially true, the amount of weight one must put upon these statistical chances is a matter of debate.  After all my two years of research and doctors visits and consultations I am of the opinion that there is less to worry about than to worry about.  It was my exes choice to not use protection despite my repeated offerings to do so.  If she didn't get it and neither did two people after her then I'd be highly suspect of the statement that she for sure has it.  Warts are cosmetic only, remember, and not a health threat.  I'm not saying that to minimize warts, they suck no two ways about it.  I would never wish them on anybody, and I painstakingly took a year off of sex with anyone after that because I did not want to be a part of the process.  I am now in the statistical realm of having contained the virus so I am good to go, and I am going to operate under that assumption with good faith in the experts opinion.  

Hope this helps.

cheers

That is how people keep spreading it around, you could have given it to her. She now has the virus in her system and has passed it on, you DONT always have a break out . That can happen if you get hit with another illness cold, flu , mono. And then you can break out, she could have them inside can you see there ????              Not to smart just because you dont see warts doesnt mean the virus isnt there....if that was the case most people would see it and never have sex with that person .

Sex with my ex was a year ago now.  We had unprotected sex for months while I had an active infection.  She never got warts.  I had another outbreak after we broke up, two actually.  The last one in January.  Eight months after that, I slept with someone else.  So far she has not had any warts, but it may be too soon to tell.  I am sure she doesn't have it though as I am most likely finished with the virus.  I don't know if my ex's two subsequent partners got warts or not, but I am sure I would have heard about it as she was quite displeasured with me for getting warts in the first place while on a break up break.  I'm sure she would have let me know to make me feel bad so I could know the problems I'd created.

i dont get what you meant..

you mean, you had sex with her one month ago then she have been with another two sexual partners AFTER that and none of them ever had an outbreak? How do you know, you ask all of them by yourself?

About a month ago I think.  My ex, who I slept with only unprotected the whole time I was having outbreaks never had an outbreak, nor has her two partners after me.

I haven't had an outbreak in nine months so I'm considering myself lear of the virus as well.  I've also had sex again, unprotected unfortunately, and she is all good.  So am I.  Hope this helps.

hi thanks for reassuring me. I guess doctor edward & hunter statement could be correct (about we can't infect our sexual partner after our antibody has taken care of the virus)

I also believe that we will never really completely cured as virus cannot be killed but at least our antibody can force the virus to go dormant within 1-2 years time. I dont care if i can't be completely cured and I honestly dont care much if I get another outbreak as my warts have been always small and very few in numbers and easy to treat.

My concern has been always about my chance of infecting my future sexual partner.

I haven't had any problems for the last 15 years and, as far as I know, none of my partners have been infected (I always have safe sex, though). According to some, you are never really completely cured and the virus is always in your organism - I have no idea if this is true or not.
