This forum is an un-mediated, patient-to-patient forum for questions and support regarding HPV issues such as: genital warts, causes, diagnosis, cervical cancer, HPV in men, PAP tests, treatment, telling your spouse or partner
The chances of her "getting" HPV (if she didn't already have it and never knew) increases w/ the amount of time you two have been sexually active, used "protection" (although HPv doesn't really care about condomsCondoms Female condoms since it can spread thru skin to skin contact..especially in the low risk strainsStrains ..and who uses condomsCondoms Female condoms when using a toy?!)
The best advise is to tell her about your status and that she needs to have a HPV test w/ her PAP (not every doc does aHPV test if the woman is under 30 or 35 and has a normal PAP. Most will do a test if the PAP comes back abnormal. You can be HPV positive AND have a normal PAP..I do currently)
