Can someone who has low risk hpv transmiy high risk hpv to spouse?
My boyfriend and I never had actual vaginal sex, but we did have oral sex and genital-to-genital touching. A while later, I experienced warts and I got cyrotherapy treatment, but there was no progress. Then, I found out that smoking increases warts, so I thought maybe that is why the treatment did not work out well. So, I scheduled another appointment with my doctor and she suggested to try electrocautery. I'm still waiting for the scheduled appointment and I really hope it helps removing these warts. What im actually worried about is my boyfriend, He did not experience any warts, so im scared he has the high risk. Is that even possible? Because I have the low risk.
It is common for most sexually adults to have multiple strains and some may be high risk and low risk. There are no tests for men but if you can get tested and confirm that you do not have the high risk strains, then it is a good chance that he doesn't either. And yes, smoking cigs does increase the chances of getting more genital warts. As does unsafe sex, drinking, stress, less sleep, severe colds, lack of exercise, junk food, no vitamins, etc. You should get tested for HPV regardless of the warts because the pre-cancerous cells can one day lead to cancer (years or decades from now).
