Afraid of hpv

[Aliozil]

Hi doctors
I was having sex on a regular basis before 12 years,  and in last year , i went to massage place and at the end the worker gave me a hand job, this was my only exposure after the 12 years, after the massage exposure, I waited for six months and tested for hiv, hepatitis , gentle herpes, selphei , gone rhea , chlamydia, all come negative, now about to get married, but I'm worried that I have hpv and I may pass it to her because there are no tests to check, should I be worried or should I move on, I just want to mention that the result of herpes came out that I have oral herpes but the doctor told me that is not sexually transmitted disease and i already informed her about it,  
Is hpv something to be afraid of since there is nothing thatIi can do to check wether I have it or not.
Im 28 years old now
Excuse my English
Waiting for your reply because I have anxiety and i can't think right any more
Best regards

Final answer.  If you wife had HPV, your baby would not be at risk either at the time of delivery or afterwards.

This will end this thread.  No further questions please.  EWH

This has been answered above and is repetitive.  Please read my earlier answers.  There is no reason to worry about cancer.  EWH

Dear Edward
I read a lot of stories in the Internet about oral HPV and cancer , do i need to be concern about it or not, the problem is the more you read the more you get confuse,
Consider this to be my last question

Appreciate your help
Im really started to feel better :)
Thanks in advance

As I have indicated before, HPV is not a dangerous thing to have.  If your wife happens to have it (and there is no evidence that she does) then the infection is nearly certain to go away on its own as her body fights the infection.  If there is a problem, it can be detected with PAP smears and then addressed. My advice, again is to move forward with your life and not be concerned.  EWH

Dear Edward
My wife didn't get the vaccine neither do l, its hard to live without knowing that you have it or not and wait for the symptoms, specially when you have anxiety like me :) , I try to let go but the thoughts always come back to me,
So to sum up, its not a dangerous thing to have, (thats if i have it at the first place) and human system usually  fight in 2 years and if I would transfer it to my wife her body will probably also fight and clear it, your final advise is to live without concerns from HPV right??
Hopefully you advise change mu life :)
Thanks in advance and best regards

You should move on without further concern. If you had cancer related to HPV infection you would see a lesion to guide further evaluation.  Do not let the stories you read on the Internet mislead you.  EWH

Dear Edward

That helps, but still Im a little anxious, is it a dangerous thing to have, will it be cleared from my body by now as its been at least 12 years, is there any test that I can do at least to check wether I have HPV that will cause cancer, I don't care about the warts as it can be removed easily, sometimes i wish I didn't read about it  at the first to know that there is something exists called HPV because i can't get it out of my mined,
Should I move on with out worrying about it
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english :)

Welcome to our Forum.  I will be happy to comment briefly.  Congratulations on your desire to keep your partner safe from STDs, including HPV.  Your recent receipt of masturbation did not place you at risk for HPV or for any other STI and therefore did not give you any infection that you might pass on to a future wife.  

Whether or not you may have had HPV in the past cannot be known.  the infection is widespread among sexually active persons with most persons having the infection.  Even though the infection is widespread, it causes no harm to most people who have it.  If you get married, if your wife has regular PAP smears and receives the HPV vaccine if she has not already, she is at virtually no risk for HPV or its consequences.  

I would not let your past sexual experiences keep you from getting married or cause you to worry about infecting a future wife.  EWH
