After a woman gets treatment for cervical cancer (i think she had to do chemo-, or at least was treated for pre-cancerous cells), can she still infect a male with HPV?
I started seeing a woman a couple months ago and the first time we had sex, she had some vaginal bleeding. we didn't think too much about it (or at least I didn't), but it took some time to get a pap smear and an hpv test done. An abnormal biopsy showed the presence of HPV (strain 52, which is one of the high risk types).
1. Since there was bleeding the first (and subsequent) time(s) we had sex, she had cervical cancer before, and there is a latency period, does it make it most likely it came from her and not me?
It's not a blame thing. It matters because if I know it came from her, it changes the people i would need to inform.
She didn't tell me any of the back story until the results came back.
2. Re #1, I know in the forum some suggest that there's no need to inform future partners,
is that still the advice knowing that it is a strain that led to a cancerous outcome?
3. And should I be upset that she didn't mention any of this to me until the results of the pap smear/hpv test came back, given her previously known condition? we had sex at least a few times w/o a condom.
4. From what i've read, i can't determine if i have it or can pass it on. is my chance for penile cancer any higher?
Any help would be appreciated.
