Q: Hpv - "not Possible"?
asked by: angelspeak on October 19th, 2004

I have been married for 9 years. I have had only one sexual partner in that time, my wife. And believe her when she says she has been w/ no one else. The thing is, my wife went to planned parenthood for a checkup & to address very painful pms. They discovered a bump in her vagina. They did a biopsy & said the results would be ready in 3 weeks. Today my wife called pp & they said she had a virus, but were not specific. She made an appointment for tommorrow.

Well, after talking to pp, she read an article in cosmo about hpv and intends to ask at the visit if this is an std. She told me it better not be. In other words, being married this long, I can tell she meant I must have cheated on her. She also now tells me this bump is a wart. If neither of us has cheated on each other in the 9 years, is it possible for her to have hpv? If so, how? If not, does anyone have any info?

Okay, you know you have not cheated on your wife. But the thing is you could have hpv for a very long time and it can be inactive in your body. Therefore, you could have had it before you married your wife and you never knew it. It depends on the person, some people have hpv for a very long time before they ever find out. Also, it is very unlikely, but you could have touched something that was infected and then touched your penis and got it that way. Hpv on males usually has no side effects, warts don't tend to live as easy on the males penis as it does a womens vagina, a womens vagina is very moist and warts grow easier in moist areas. 1 in 4 people have been exposed to hpv. I would not be too worried about it. If that is what she has then there is things to get rid of the breakouts. But you said it was a bump, I have hpv and it appears more like a "cauliflower" flesh looking wart, it looks nothing like a "bump" bumps usually are herpes. I hope this helped, any other questions let me know, I will research them for you.

It took my treatment only 3 days for two large clusters of small warts to fade away from my anal region. Repivar is an herbal supplement that helps your immune system while you are fighting off the virus. I highly advise using both treatments... Finally there is a cure!

Re: Hpv - "not Possible"?
Ashley is right, hpv can live in the system for years. Some people never have symptoms but can still pass it along. And yes, hpv is a sexually transmitted disease and that is the only way you can get it. It is very possible that neither of you cheated on the other and if she said she has only been with you than you could have it from a previous partner before your marriage. She needs to know that this can live in you for your entire life without you knowing it so it doesn't mean you cheated. Good luck.
