Q: HPV-1 but question about HPV-2

I have HPV-1 and have since I was a baby thanks to my mother. My husband thinks he may have HPV-2 from me but I have never had a break out that I know of and dont feel any of the symptoms but he gets break outs. I talk to a doctor about it and he said that it is possible for me to have givin my husband HPV-1 down there. He wont go get tested cause he is scared to death of any bad result and would rather try to ignore it. I would like to know that if it is HPV-2 and I gave it to him, if it is possible that I am a carrier with no break outs and just never knew it. I have not gotten any complaints about it from anyone else I have been with but I dont doubt my husbands faith to me either. Any suggestions? Thank you! nurse

from what I have read you can transfer HPV1 the the genitals. also people with HPV2 can not be transfered to the month,the person will just get a cold sore on the lower lip that will eventually go away. this will happen only if they have a outbreak at the time

maybe you need to get your blood checked for HPV2 this is the only way you will indeed now if you are a carrier the test will not show how long you had it. Have you had sex with your husband while he had his outbreaks?? if not I would encourge you to get a blood test because HPV2 is at it highest for transmittion while the bumps are around. maybe the results will answer your question. hope this helped!!!

that's the problem, there's something called "sheding" this is when you are basically contagious but dont know it. meaning you wont get an outbreak but the virus is there. you can reserch herpes sheding and see the same defintion.
so if one day you think you dont have it, but your sheding and you give your husband a blow job, you couldve pass it to him.
