HPV and Threesome

Hi all,

About a year ago I had an abnormal pap where my gynocologist ended up finding pre-cancerous lesions. He took a biopsy to do further testing and had me come back in a couple months for a follow up pap. When I came back for the followup everything was fine and my pap was normal. I have not had any problems since and will be going for my annual exam in April.

So I ended up having a threesome a couple weeks ago and the man wore a condom, and the other woman and I did not wear anything. We did switch back and forth without using condoms for sexual intercourse.

My question is, if my abnormal pap was due to HPV, after this incident what are the chances the other female picked it up? Is this even possible? Am I still contagious?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Correction Alex..you can have a normal PAP's AND test positive for HPV! ..and PAP's definitely help in finding if someone has HPV ..but the "other" woman needs to have a HPV test!

I would check w/ your gyn to find out if your last HPV test at your last annual PAP came back negative...if it did ..then you/and your partners are ok.

It is probably possible to transmit HPV this way. It usually isn't transmitted indirectly, but there is more risk in immediately sharing a sex toy than sharing a towel. Obviously this incident is closer to the sex toy.

It is unlikely that you are still contagious though. The body clears the virus and if you had good PAPs, you are probably clear.

In any case, nearly everybody gets at least one HPV infection, so your partner should get her regular PAP
