Finally, as I also added in the expert forum:  At first I did not realize that your and your husband's HPV problems occurred 5 years ago.  There is no reason to suppose any problem now.  Your infections probably had gone away even before your daughter was born -- and even if one of you still is infected, there still is definitely no risk for your daughter.

And I meant this reply to be in the STD forum.  I forgot where I was!  I'll post the same reply there.

Welcome to the forum.  You sound far more stressed than necessary about all this.  Nobody wants HPV, but getting it is normal -- it happens to all sexually active people, often several times, and most infections cause no important health problems.  And your doctor is correct that your children definitely are not at risk.  The genital HPV types are not transmitted by normal household contact, hugging, kissing children, or by any route except by sex.

Did you have a specific test to prove you have a high risk form of HPV?  Or just an abnormal pap smear with HPV?  Among all abnormal paps, half are caused by low risk HPV types -- the same ones that cause warts.  Also, many people with HPV are infected with 2, 3, or even 4 types all at the same time.  Even if a DNA test shows you have a high risk type, you could still have a low risk HPV infection as well.  In fact, you probably do -- since your husband has warts, you can be pretty certain you have (or have had) the same virus he does.

As for oral sex, it can result in HPV in the mouth.  However, almost all such infections remain asymptomatic and go away, without ever causing problems.  And oral HPV infections are not easily transmitted, and definitely cannot be transmitted to your children.  You don't need to take any special precautions at all about this.  Your kids are just fine.

Continue to discuss this with your doctor if you remain concerned.  It sounds like he is very knowledgeable about HPV.  You could even print out this reply and discuss it with him.  You'll probably find he agrees with all I have said.

So none of this should be a very big deal to you.  Don't freak out over it.

I hope this helps.  Good luck--  HHH, MD
