Boyfriend Denies Responsibility For My Hpv Posted: 06-29-07 20:00pm
My boyfriend says his wife had a pap smear
and there was no problem four years ago,
his girlfriend says she was tested and it
all came back negative.
He also says he was tested for STD's eight
months ago and it all came back negative.
I told him he was not tested for HPV
because there is no test for men.
He says that he doubts that I have tested
postitive for HPV. I assured him my
doctor said it is true.
He said, it must therefore be from me and
maybe my late husband gave it to me and it
has lain dormant for years and years. I
said, I have had a pap smear and it came
back negative five years ago when I had my
physical.
He now says it must be from me and now I
have probably infected him with it.
I said, we will just have to wait to see
the results of when I see the gyn. Also,
the results for your wife being tested for
HPV with the new pregnancy.
Is it possible to have HPV and be with
someone intimately and not have them get
the virus? Are some people immune to
acquiring HPV? Does it only show up later
in a person's life?
We often get exposed to colds or the flu
when people cough on us. And, we don't
always get it. But, we don't carry that
cough around for years. How does this
work?
Thanks.

I tested postive for HPV going on 4 years
ago. I have had clean paps ever since. My
body still has it. I think it's one of
those things that stays, but lays dorment
(sp?) I'm not really sure on all the
information on HPV. My fiance, and i have
been together for 3 years, and he has
never had any warts, or whatever. (That's
the strain i had, not sure if it's all the
same)

roberta i believe you should not like to
him you gave me it and so because in your
case it seems to be difficult to see where
it could have come from. In my case i got
the virus with this first guy i had sex
with. I was sure it came from him because
i was a virgin and i didn't had sex with
any other guy until after i was diagnosed
so it was for sure him. In your case you
can't tell. It could have come from any of
the men you have slept with as the virus
can stay dormant for years and years and
then suddenly come up. So it could have
come from your previous husband or your
new bf or you could have been the carrier
and you gave to him, very difficult to
tell in your case. I wouldn't worry about
the who gave who. Just keep getting your
pap's and you will be fine.
hpv comes in two forms, the one that give
warts and the ones that there is no warts
and cause cervical dysplasia
(pre-cancerous cells)

they say that if your partner has had more
then one partner then you most likely have
hpv.
you can also have it for a long time
without testing positive.
