HPV Risk
Hi,
I posted a question not too long ago and i realize i won't be able to ask one for awhile, but i think this question will close the books on everything. In brief, in my previous post, I talked about how I had sex with a girl who was diagnosed with High Risk HPV 2 years ago in Jan, and then had LEEP last yr in Jan. I had sex with her last october (middle of the month) and then early november. Late October, she went in and got a pap smear, and it came back abnormal and further testing was needed. They did did an HPV test and it came back negative. Then she had another in December and that test was Negative as well. My question is, what are my risk of having HPV with that two week gap between the testing and having sex. I performed oral sex on her for about 5 minutes, and had unprotected sex for about three minutes (condom shattered). Is it likely she was probably negative then as well, and does a Negative test pretty much say she can not pass it on to me? I'm starting a new relationship and i don't want to pass anything on, and I don't want to mention this part of my pass (embarrassed). She has however had the HPV vaccine, and is a virgin. Any chances I would pass this on to her? And while I have you with this new information, would you say Oral HPV is out of the question as well. Thank you very much! Appreciate all your work. Trying to close the books with the new information i got.

Sorry about the "prior partner" confusion. Yes, I referred to your partner with the abnormal PAP who had LEEP and then had a negative HPV test but abnormal cells as your "prior partner" because you stated you were staring a new relationship.
Yes, I would say your risk of being infected and transmitting it forward is low. EWH

And i noticed once before you said there is not STD in which the majority of exposures causes transmission. So would that being said, would you say it's low risk? (this is how i meant to phrase the question). I have not been worrying after the first time we talked, I just wanted to put the new information to use. Thank you for everything!
I think i was reading it wrong. You were calling her my prior partner due to fact i have a new one. Okay I understand. Okay, so this may have been the case. While, you can't say 100 percent, would you say I'm probably low risk? (3 min is on the long side. It was more like 1 min before i realized but just playing it safe) Well thank you doctor
Just a quick follow up. you said "Her negative HPV test suggests that this may the case in your prior partner." what do you mean by prior partner? this is all with one girl. If i had sex with her, and then she got tested two weeks later--abnormal pap but negative HPV, is it likely she was negative two weeks piror? Or if she was postibve, not by much because it was clearly clearing up and my chances of having it at all is low?

Welcome back. There is not a specific answer to your question but I will provide some facts which, I hope, will be helpful.
Not all abnormal PAP smears are due to HPV. Her negative HPV test suggests that this may the case in your prior partner. (Before you ask, can I be 100% sure, no. I've told you what I know).
As I've told you, the chance that you have oral HPV, as well as the chance that it is of consequence and/or transmissible was low even before you told me about your prior partners HPV results. Those results make the chances even lower.
Your current partner has had the vaccine. Most HPV-related PAP smear abnormalities are caused by HPV types which are found in the vaccine. This is makes transmission of HPV, if you even have it less likely.
Hope this helps. I urge you to try not to worry about this, for all of the reasons I indicated previously, as well as the ones mentioned above. EWH
