Should you tell your ex that you have HPV? |
And that it's probably from him..? Well..... if you really care about the person who is with him as an a human being, and you want her to be aware that she is carrying the virus as well, then find the way how to raise her attention into to go and see the gynecologist somehow. But if your intentions areto create conflict bewteen them, rather than to serve as a vehicle of cancer prevention and information for this new or current girlfriend, then I would suggest to leave this subject up to her to find out. All sexually active women should check themselves annually with cancer screening tests, is her responsability to follow up with it, not yours. But again if you really think that by telling her that she might be carrying this virus then approach her and tell her about it . I hope that my advice would help. Good luck! YES, but don't tell it to him in a rude way like "YOU GAVE ME HPV" Guys cant be tested for HPV, unless they have a wart on their genitals, but maybe you should tell him to be careful with the next girl he sleeps with. HPV sucks, make sure you have regular paps, because i almost got the cervical cancer. No. It is such a minor complaint and most people have the virus. Why make a big deal of something so unimportant? Yes and no (it depends), it can cause genital warts for a guy but that doesn't mean he didn't already have HPV before you got it. Both men and women can contract HPV. The problem with HPV in men is there is no detection of the virus except for the presence of genital warts, which is a hard thing to detect if the warts or flat in addition warts can be symptoms of other STD. I think you should not tell him because if your own health issue. My partner just found out she has HPV... What does it mean for me? Partners usually share HPV. If you have been partners for a long time, it is likely that you already have HPV. The types of HPV that put a woman at risk for cervical cancer very rarely cause any health problems for heterosexual men. What does that mean for her? This probably means she has a type of HPV on her cervix that could put her at risk for cervical cancer. She should follow up with her doctor or nurse as advised, so that she does not develop cervical cancer in the future. Also, she should know that most of the time, HPV goes away on its own without causing any health problems. What does it mean for us? HPV is not a sign that you or your partner has been unfaithful in the relationship. HPV can be silent in the body for many years before it is found on a test. She may have had HPV for many years, and there is no way to know when or from whom she got HPV. http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv-a... I have HPV from my boyfriend . He got it from an ex of his. And he didn't know about it till i went and got my yearly pap test. I got completely tested and it's minimal but it's there. U may have no symptoms of it so it may be true that he didn't know if thats what he tells u.But whoever u end up having a personal relationship with, u should tell.Especially if it ends up being serious. But so u don't get freaked out ask ur doctor. hpv is the "common cold" of STDs. 80% of us will have it at some point in our sexual lives. we have no way of knowing where we got it. it can be dormant for 10 years or more- rare but true- and usually takes 10-15 years before it advances to cancer. that being said, if women get their pap tests every year like they should, then an hpv infection will get noticed about 26-50% of the time, and the rest of the time it won't. however, hpv is rarely cancer causing or life threatening. i had stage 3 dysplaysia, or cells about to turn to pre-cancer on my cervix. there was no way to know where i got it. i could have gotten it from my first partner for all i know. i've had about 30 partners in my life. why would i want to track down and scare 30 men? i told my most recent partners that i had just been diagnosed with HPV and i explained what that meant for them. they were all cool with it and said they'd make sure to use condoms (which DO cut down on the transmission rate) in the future. no one blamed me and no one got mad at me. everyone understood that it is just a common skin disease and needs to be thought of accordingly. i had to have LEEP surgery for my bad cells. i had a check-up 3 months after my surgery and the pap was clear (not enough sample for the DNA test). at the end of this month i'm going for my 6 month test. i hope my body has cleared the virus, which happens in a lot of cases. within 2 years, the majority of women have cleared the virus. it isn't known whether the virus load is just so low that the sensitive DNA tests can't pick it up, or whether we actually eradicate it from our bodies. i would say to tell your immediate partners, like those within the past 8 months or so, because that is the average incubation period. tell them that it is impossible to know if they have it, if they don't, if they gave it to you or if you gave it to them, but they need to be responsible and keep it in mind. but with this one ex, there is no way you can blame him. if you've had sex with more than 2 people, you can't blame him. HPV is EVERYWHERE!!! no unsafe sex! i don't know how many times i just decided i felt comfortable with my boyfriend and we ditched condoms because of our emotional bond. there is no ditching condoms when STDs are involved. so often they show no signs and especially with high-risk HPV, we can develop cervical cancer (though rare, but my mom did get it). just know that your body can recover, follow your doctor's instructions, and use condoms. you'll get better. just make sure you know about your partner's sexual history before sleeping with him (but this doesn't mean he's not lying or that he doesn't have it). it is possible to catch different strains, so watch out! many women are getting guardasil (the vaccine) just to prevent against strains we may not have come into contact with. i know i want the vaccine (i'd have to convince my MD, because i'm 28 and the FDA says it is for up to 26). |
