Hpv - "not Possible"? Posted: 10-19-04 21:35pm
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?

Hey I noticed u posted this around the
site so I decided 2 look into it 4 u.
First I think u should wait to c wat the
doctors say but I found some info hope it
helps;
"human papillomaviruses (hpvs) are a group
of more than 100 types of viruses. They
are called papillomaviruses because they
tend to cause warts, or papillomas, which
are benign (noncancerous) tumors.
Different types of hpvs cause the common
warts that grow on hands and feet and
those that develop in the mouth and
genital area. Genital hpvs can be passed
from one person to another through sexual
intercourse and oral or anal sex.
Genital hpvs may cause warts to appear on
or around the genitals and anus of both
men and women. In women, visible warts
may also appear in the cervix. This type
of a "genital wart" is known technically
as condyloma acuminatum and is generally
associated with two hpv types, numbers 6
and 11. Because these genital warts
rarely develop into cancer, hpv-6 and
hpv-11 are often referred to as "low-risk"
viruses. Other sexually transmitted hpvs
have been linked with genital or anal
cancers in both men and women. These are
called "high risk" hpv types and include
hpv-16, hpv-18, hpv-31, hpv-45, as well as
some others. High risk hpv types aren't
usually contained in visible warts. Both
high-risk and low-risk types of hpvs can
cause the growth of abnormal cells in the
cervix.
Preventing hpv infection
limiting your number of sexual partners
and avoiding sex with people who have had
many other sexual partners decreases your
risk of exposure to hpv. Hpv infection
does not always produce warts or other
symptoms, so a person may be infected
with, and pass on, hpv without knowing it.
Recent research shows that condoms
("rubbers") cannot protect against
infection with hpv. This is because hpv
can be passed from person to person with
any skin-to-skin contact with any
hpv-infected area of the body, such as
skin of the genital or anal area not
covered by the condom. The absence of
visible warts cannot be used to decide
whether caution is warranted, since hpv
can be passed on to another person even
when there are no visible warts or other
symptoms. Hpv can be present for years
with no symptoms. "
i also read that you can become infected
from your mother who passed it onto u at
birth but im not realy sure about that.

It's true that you can get it at birth. I
read about a woman who had a very bad case
of hpv, and so she decided to have a
c-section so that her baby wouldn't have
to deal with it. It's the same as if you
were to have sexual contact with her--it's
still skin against skin.
