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?

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.
