Q: sex with HPV
asked by: vanilla74 on June 22nd, 2008

Hi there...
I just learned I have HPV (because I can see the warts).
I just met someone and we have a big chemistry....
What are my options? I guess... nothing for now, right?
How long should I wait before having sex with him?
How do you deal with that?
What are the fastest options for me? And even If I get rid of the warts soon, will I have to wait a long period before having sex with that person (protected, of course).
Thanks for your help...
I'm on panic mode...

HPV infected person is essentially contagious for life.
People with asymptomatic infection can still pass the virus, but, the ones with visible lesions-genital warts are more contagious.
Try to avoid sex during the out break of warts.
If you choose to be sexually active after they disappear, always use condoms.
Condoms may lower the risk of HPV, if used all the time and the right way. Condoms may also lower the risk of developing HPV-related diseases, such as genital warts and cervical cancer. But HPV can infect areas that are not covered by a condom—so condoms may not fully protect against HPV (scrotum, vulva, perianal area)

Try to boost your immune system!
Best wishes!
