hpv in committed relationship
I was diagnosed with hpv, genital warts. I am currently waiting for treatment, and my boyfriend is as well. He is still interested in sexual intercourse, but I am worried that it might make our genital areas more infected. My case is greatly worse than his own, and I would like to make sure that engaging in sexual contact won't make his own genital warts worse. Also I read online that it is possible to transfer this strain of hpv without ever having any symptoms yourself. I was curious if this is true, and also if this were the case? My last question is, because I had the symptoms before my boyfriend did, does this mean that I was the one to give him the virus?
Thank you very much! I wasn't trying to blame him by any means, it just makes me feel a lot less guilty about the situation knowing that it doesn't mean that I gave it to him for sure. I personally don't care where it came from, and he says he doesn't either, I just felt very guilty. But thank you for the information.
Yes you can go years with out the virus becoming active.
honestly since you both have had other partners either of you could have contracted the virus or both of you could have and not know it. again the virus can take years to become active. the anus thing doesn't really matter if you have doggie style sex with someone that puts you at risk for it on your anus as well, it is a skin to skin . I wouldn't put to much thought into it, trying to determine who got it and who gave it to who is impossible.

Also, my first wart showed up on my anus. And my boyfriend is the only person who I have ever had anal sex with, or even let touch me there. Does the placement of my first wart have anything to do with where I came in to contact with the virus?

My boyfriend hadn't had sex in almost a year before we met, but had other sexual interactions. Is it possible that he could have went that long with out having any symptoms? If so, would it be possible that he then got symptoms after I did?
I get tested regularly for all std's (pap and blood work) and have always had negative results. Since my last std check I had one sexual partner that I used protection with a couple months before becoming sexually active with my boyfriend. However, I have never used protection with my boyfriend, and symptoms started to show up about a month and a half or two months after we began having sex.
I'm not looking for someone to blame, (in fact I have taken responsibility for likely being the one to give him the virus) it just seems like a peculiar time when my warts showed up.

well warts are spread more so from sheading and having sex can def. cause sheading BUT GW really don't get that bad. I wouldn't hold back from having the activity but if you are worried just wear a condom, although not a 100% proof from skin to skin it will reduce the sheading of his penis warts to your vagina. because you both have the virus there really is any real need to worry.
mmm more like if you have the warts but you don't experience symptoms u can transfer it but if you don't have any warts but you've been infected with that strain you wont transmit it... for example, both you and your partner will be getting treated for your infection once all of your warts are cleared for a couple months and niether find any new warts you can consider yourself cleared of the virus and can not transmit it to any new partners... BUT you will always have that strain in your system.
Not ness. your bf could have had an active infection and just didn't know it, not every one will produce symptoms right away.
