Ok so me and my partner have low form of hpv. Now I heard that it sometimes will go away on its own. So my question is, if hpv goes away in my girlfriend, who I love to death, then do I have to leave her if it stays with me? Also, does hpv sometimes leave men?

Help me!! Im scared and I love my girlfriend, and as much as I dont want to leave her I want the best for her. What do I do??????

The best thing to do is to discuss the issue with her.

I agree. You should discuss it with your girlfriend and you should also get an appt. To see your dr and see what he says.

About 3 1/2 years ago, I got hpv. It took them a while to figure out what it was. I had to go through cervical biopsies and everything - and then it went away on it's own. A few months after the biopsies, my pap came back normal.

My boyfriend never showed any signs or symptoms of hpv - so we just kinda moved on with our lives and haven't had a problem since. I still, to this day, don't know if he had it or not. I just know that he hasn't had any problems and his dr has never said anything.

Good luck!

In men, if you dont see any warts anywhere, then your just a carrier.
If when your girlfriends hpv clears up, yours could probably just go away too or you'll remain a carrier (kinda hard to tell because there is no hpv test for men. The real person thats in danger with hpv is the woman. I wouldnt advise to break up with your girlfriend over hpv ( no way!).

There's no one to blame when it comes to hpv (unless ones a virgin), but its almost impossible to tell who you got it from and when. So no one should be upset with anyone unless it was a purposely done which I doubt.

You being a carrier is like a invisible virus but if you have sex with some other chick and you can transmitt it her and her pap smear will someday be "abnormal"

once you girlfriend it cleared up, you wont be able to reinfect her unless you gave more than one type of hpv.

I dont think you should leave her over an std if you both have it and you really love her, there is no cure for hpv just sometimes there are no symptoms
