Hpv genital warts
Hi My boyfriend was diagnosed and treated for genital warts. We are not sure who gave the virus to who. We are together 5 months and I slept with someone about 3 months before I met him and he slept with someone 1 month before he met me. I had a smear done in march which showed up completely normal but it may have only been a few weeks after I had sex. I was wondering how come my boyfriend developed warts and I didn't and also I gave him oral sex with the warts, what does that mean for me??
well we went for an std test together so I presume they tested for everything, we havent gotten the results yet but fingers crossed everything will be ok
about 92% of hpv infections clear themselves from the body within 2 years.
your bf isn't likely to give it back to you if you had it first and gave it to him.
did you both get tested for all other std's, including herpes?

really? weird...so do you think my system has cleared it then? also can my boyfriend give it back to me again after my system has gotten rid of it? how long does it take to go??
not as much as you might think it does actually. nothing really special about the folks who clear the virus vs those who don't.
you might never figure out who gave it to whom.
correct - no way to know if you have oral hpv at this point. the odds that you contracted a cancer causing type of it orally are rather low and even if you did, the odds of it progressing into cancer are even lower yet.
we don't know exactly why some folks get obvious warts and others don't but odds are it's more about bad luck and genetics more than anything.

No I just read this "Gardasil is currently licensed in Ireland for children and adolescents aged 9 to 15 years and adult females aged 16 to 26 years" so Im out of that range. So really what your saying is that the only way I will know something is wrong is if i get cancer in my mouth?? I was amazed to hear that in the STD clinic they go on the presumption that everyone has HPV, what I dont understand is if I gave it to my boyfriend or if he gave it to me how come only he developed warts and i didn't?? I got checked the other day and all was fine, is it just he has a weaker immune system?
when you get a pap test done, it only looks for abnormal cervical cells. No abnormal cells, most of the time they don't run a hpv test. Even when they do, typically it's only for high risk hpv types. The types of hpv that cause external genital warts, aren't detected even on the hpv tests done with the pap test on our cervix.
your partner should go and get a 2nd opinion on his diagnosis.
you can contract hpv orally. Usually you don't get obvious warts with it when you do. for most folks it's not an issue. we don't have commercially available oral hpv tests.
have you had your gardasil shots?

well thats it we haven't been using condoms and I gave him oral sex when he had the warts. He didn't know they were there until we went to the STD Clinic and he was told he had them inside his penis!!!
Oral HPV is rare so I would not worry about it. Just because he has HPV doesn't mean he would give it to you and if he had no symptoms when you had sex and you used a condom then chance is he didn't give it to you. See a Dr in March again and have your swab done, or if you get symptoms see your Dr sooner.
