Boyfriend Has HPV
Today we found out that my boyfriend of over 3 years has HPV. He has had small moles on his stomach since we met, we thought they were moles and then one of them started to grow. He went to the dermatologist and had it removed. After it was tested, they found out it was HPV. I have had a yearly checkup at the gyno each year since we've been together and have never had anything found and we have always had unprotected sex (besides birth control). I made an appt at the gyno again as soon as I found out about this but is there any way that I don't have HPV? Do they usually test for this at the gynocologist during a yearly check up? He has never had anything "down there" or elsewhere, just what we thought were moles on his stomach. Is it possible I don't have it? I know I will find out for sure in a couple days but I am just worried. I am planning to get vaccinated if I don't have it, as this is the person I want to marry and we are planning on getting engaged at Christmas. Thank you.
Thank you guys for the information. He requested a realease of his lab reports today and will be picking them up tomorrow. I am going to bring them to the gyno with me so he can know exactly what I might have.
If his warts are indeed genital HPV, then you are infected too. HPV warts do not always exist in the genital area. Find out the strain he has if it is possible. Get the shot anyway since you won't get anything else someday.
Wart on stomach sounds to me like a common wart .....not a genital wart....so if it is not a genital wart ...you do not carry the risk of sexual transmission.....further let us analyse ...that for 3 years ...you have been with him...and if he would be having hpv causing genital warts ....you would have probably shown the symptoms.....as for common warts.....no need to worry...I had them when I was 10 years old on my forehead, ears and hands......I took homeopathic medicine...got rid of it...and in last 26 years it never came back.....u can check with your doc...may be pcr test might help...as it is recommended for women by CDC.......it is done on samples from cervix ....
you are in great risk of being infected there are no symptoms sometimes
