HPV and dating

I have high risk HPV.  It will be 6 month till Im tested again.  Do I abstain from sex till then?  If I use condoms, will this protect my partners? Thanks

Thanks.  The consensus seems to be that if you know you have it, disclose it to potential partners.

Condoms are not 100 percent effective but very very close so there is only a small chance of passing to partners. If you are in a relationship risk it with a condom, if not then you may want to think about it. High risk HPV dosen't affect men as much as women, but can do in the future.
