HPV in Partners
by bluemonk, Apr 30, 2009 07:21AM
I was diagnosed with low risk HPV about 2 years ago, was treated and haven't had symptoms since. My boyfriend started showing symptoms a little while after me and sought treatment (same medicine I took) but his symptoms never cleared. My question is, even though I don't have symptoms am I getting a chance to clear the virus from my system if my bf still has an active infection?? Am I reinfecting myself if he still has it?

Anyway, it shouldn't make a difference in your immune system's response. I have read that once you clear the virus you might develope an immunity to it. There seems to be evidence that people don't get infected with the same strain over again.
Personally, I don't think you have much to worry about. Check out the doctor's forum though, HHH has commented on how partners don't "ping-pong" infections....
