Who is more likely to have given me HPV?

Been diagnosed with HPV. Never had symtoms (symptoms) before.

My ex-boyfriend and I broke up two years ago. A year ago I met a man and started a relationship. 3 months later I get diagnosed with HPV. My boyfriend clames he had condyloma 20 years before and been healthy since.

Which one has given me HPV?

in my opinion it's your current BF. it's very unlikely for you to get HPV from your ex as your relationship with him ended 2 years ago

so according to math, let's say your latest sex encounter with your ex was 2 years ago and you got warts 15 months later, means you had the HPV lied dormant for 15 months in your body. that's very unlikely. Your body should have taken care the virus by itself if you were infected by your previous BF.

I would say it's your current BF. There can be two chances here..

1. He lied. He still had "active" HPV infection when he infected you
2. It could be his "dormant" HPV, but I think the chance is small for this possibility

There's no way to know except get your bf tested. If he's clean, it could be your ex.

Hi and thank you for your answer. I agree with you. My genital problems started a month or so in to this new relationship. I also have developed a gland cyst, according to my gyno it is a blocked duct that maybe is caused by some virus irritation the vagina.

I forgot to ask her if that virus could be the HPV but I think so - what do you think? Cause I never had any problems with blocked duct glands causing painful cysts before and the problems started at the same time as I was diagnosed with HPV condyloma - all a month in to this new relationship.

I am not sure he is lying though? Maybe his warts are so small that he doesn´t notice them? I haven´t inspected his genitals myself, maybe I should take a good look, but what´s the point. The damage is already made and even if I feel a lot of anger I still don´t want to lose the relationship.

A final question - should I treat the warts or not? I have seen two gynos - one wants to just cut them - the other said it´s best to do nothing.

If I chose to do nothing - will this clear on it´s own?
