HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) COMMUNITY
we fall in love and he TELLS ME he's a carrier.

we fall in love and he TELLS ME he's a carrier.

I have fallen in love with a man who had HPV like 7 years ago. His ex got it again  and I am wondering
if we choose to make love--- (which we are now READY!)!!  What are my risks if i use a condom.and later with-out --- he said he would find out the type....I believe he said #39. Can we have a future together with this?

HPV doesn't go away.  If he had it 7 years ago, he still has it today, even if you don't see any warts.  You can still transmit HPV if you use a condom, because a condom doesn't cover all the areas that come into contact when a man and woman have sex.  

Sure, you can have a future together if he has an STD.  You just have to know the facts and protect yourselves accordingly.  Here is one site that talks more about the risks associated with HPV: http://www.rdoc.org.uk/hpv.html  

The CDC also has a pretty good info page about HPV: http://www.cdc.gov/std/HPV/STDFact-HPV.htm

Hope this helps.  Best wishes to you and your boyfriend.  Be safe!
