Do i have it ?

by tww808, Nov 08, 2009 04:35PM
I had a sexual encounter with a woman  2 weeks ago.  We had unprotected intercourse 3 - 4 times over the course of 24 hours, each session lasted approximately 20 minutes.  2 days after sleeping with her she informed me that she had recently been diagnosed with HPV (I don't know yet if it's high risk or low risk).

I understand this is a common disease, and there is no HPV test for men.

My questions are: Do I now have HPV?  
                                If so, what are the chances of genital warts?
                                Should I be worried about cancer?

You could have either low/high risk HPV..it only takes one time. You need to find out from her what kind she has/had to allow you to better take care of your health. Having high risk hpv DOESN'T  mean that you have or will get cancer ..it just means that your already small risk is slightly increased. Men, especially have no symptoms/health issues w/ high risk strain.. warts/low risk is another issue. Until you know..refrain from sex.. condoms DON'T prevent spreading the virus..reduces the chances..
