Can nobody advise on this? Is 2 years abstaining from sex long enough to resume unprotected sex with a future partner? If there have been no symptoms in that period. Most studies state the mean time to clear high risk HPV 16 is 6 months in men. 12 months for men and woman
One other question on this, they say 2 years most people clear 90% of infections - which infections remain in men after 2 years? baring in mind you cannot test for high risk.
Would someone with no symptoms be regarded as clear if they abstain from sex for 2 years and have no symptoms regardless of HPV history??
Thanks for the reply Dave. The clinic told me I was at no risk due to amount of previous partners and my age. That statistically I would be immune at this point in life. I just wanted a second opinion. Is this view not held by the wider community? Thanks again
Hi Genital HPV is contracted but direct rubbing of a genital wart so its possible to contact it at any age. What are the risks? very low if there was not obvious wart at the time.
