• HPV is a common virus that eight out of 10 women will get by the age 50. It is spread through intimate, skin-to-skin contact, and there are more than 100 strains of HPV. Often, there are no symptoms of the virus, and in many cases, the virus disappears on its own. However, some “low risk” strains will result in genital warts, while other “high risk” types can cause harmful cell changes in the cervix. Without treatment, these cell changes have the potential to turn into cancer.
  Men do get HPV, but there are often no serious health repercussions, especially in
  those with healthy immune systems. There is no FDA approved HPV test for men, and currently, there is no proof that the new vaccine, Gardasil, can protect males from the virus.
  HPV is not a sign that you or your fiancé have been unfaithful; the virus can be “silent” and go undetected for many years. In fact, your fiancé may have had HPV for a long time, but there is no way to know when or who she received it from. The good news is that there is no need to avoid sexual contact with her. The virus is commonly exchanged between sexual partners. However, if you ever become sexually involved with another partner, you may pass along HPV to her.

• HPV is a virus that most sexually active people have come in contact with. The majority of people have no symptoms and if healthy fight it off. Here is a link to the CDC website with more information. http://www.cdc.gov/std/HPV/STDFact-HPV-a…
  As for your relationship I suggest the two of you see a doctor together to discuss your specific circumstances. If you really love each other you will be able to work through this. Good luck.
• HPV is an STI and is transmitted through sex and sex play. You will most likely acquire her HPV.
  HPV or human papilloma virus is a large family of different types about 100. Any wart on the body hands feet are of HPV types that are not associated with the genital area 30 of these HPV types are found in the genital area. These HPV types are most commonly acquired through sex or sex play. These 30 HPV types are divided into two catagories low risk HPV types…types not associated with cancer and high risk HPV types these HPV types are found in cervical, vulva, vaginal anal and some head and neck cancers. Having a high risk HPV does not mean that you will develop a cancer…it only mean that you tested positive for one or more of these HPV types.
  HPV is common many people have the virus…many people have it with no outward signs or no symptoms.
  Having a high risk HPV means we go for our yearly Paps and if the virus progresses we treat.
  Should you be concerned…that is a difficult question.
  You will probably acquire her HPV types you will carry the virus even if it doesn’t show any signs.
  Most of the health burden of the virus is in the female but men can develop genital warts of the penis could have other health issues due to a persistent infection.
  Most people with HPV doe build natural immunity to their HPV type or types. Being in a committed forever relationship also helps the body build immunity.
  Learn more about the virus knowledge will give you the answers you need.
  www.cancers.gov the CDC website and webmd are good places to find good information.
  Your fiancée showed faith and trust in you and your relationship with this information…
  Good luck to both of you.
• no…80 percent of women get it at some point in their lives
• “LEARN ABOUT HPV > What Men Should Know
  What is HPV?
  HPV is a virus that is very common. In fact, most men and women are infected with HPV at some time in their lives. There are approximately 100 types of HPV. Some HPV types infect the genital area and may cause warts (“low-risk” HPV), while others may cause abnormal cell changes in men of the anus or penis (“high-risk” HPV) – these types are also linked with abnormal cervical cell changes in women.
  How is HPV transmitted?
  The types of HPV found in the genital areas are usually passed on during sexual contact (sexually transmitted). HPV types that cause warts on the hands or feet do not cause genital warts or cervical cell changes, nor do genital HPV types generally spread outside the genital area.
  Genital HPV is usually acquired by direct skin-to-skin contact during intimate sexual contact with someone who is infected. Most men and women are not aware that they have the virus. Condoms do not offer complete protection from HPV. Increasing numbers of partners increases the risk of getting HPV, but the virus is so common that having only a single lifetime partner does not assure protection. It is usually impossible to determine when or from whom HPV was caught. HPV may be detected fairly soon after exposure, or may not be found until many years later. For all these reasons, it is not helpful, nor fair to blame your partner.
  How common is HPV?
  HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus. It has been estimated that 75% or more of sexually active Americans will contract HPV sometime in their lives. This means that anyone who has ever had sexual relations has a high chance of being exposed to this virus, but only a small number of women, and even fewer men, infected with HPV develop lesions that are detected or need to be treated. In almost all cases, the immune system will keep the virus under control or get rid of it completely.
  Keep in mind it is rare for “high-risk” HPV to lead to cancer. In 2005, for example, the American Cancer Society estimates only about 1,750 cases of anal cancer will occur with men and that penile cancer will account for approximately 0.2% of all cancers in males.
  Can HPV infections be treated?
  There is currently no treatment available for the virus itself. However, good treatments do exist for the diseases HPV can cause, such as cell changes or genital warts. Your health care provider will discuss these treatment options with you, if you need them.
  How are men screened for HPV?
  Men are typically screened clinically with a visual inspection to check for lesions (such as warts) – there is no specific way to test directly for HPV in men that is approved for clinical use. Researchers are looking at ways to better screen men, but the current lack of testing options for males can be very frustrating.
  While still not routinely done, anyone with a history of receptive anal sex may want to speak with his or her health care provider about having an anal Pap test. Anal cancer is uncommon, but screening can still be an important precaution – talk to your provider if you have questions.
  What about partners?
  Most sexually active couples share HPV until the immune response suppresses the infection. Partners who are sexually intimate only with each other are not likely to pass the same virus back and forth. When HPV infection goes away the immune system will remember that HPV type and keep a new infection of the same HPV type from occurring again. However, because there are many different types of HPV, becoming immune to one HPV type may not protect you from getting HPV again if exposed to another HPV type.”

• If You Have Hpv Is It Always Detectable In A Pap Smear?
  no, not always detectable in a pap smear…
• If You Have Hpv Is It Always Detectable In A Pap Smear?
  A Pap test looks for abnormal cell changes, but a Pap test can miss these changes so it is important to have annual Pap test with HPV testing. www.thehpvtest.com
  A normal Pap test does not mean “no chance of cancer.” It means there is a very low chance that cervical cancer is present. Because the Pap test is not perfect and can sometimes miss irregularities, including cancer, you should have the test on a regular basis to decrease the chance of missing cervical cancer or dysplasia If you notice unusual vaginal symptoms, such as bleeding between periods or pain during intercourse, you should see your health care provider even if your last Pap test was normal.http://www.arhp.org/healthmatters/Unders…
  The Pap test is a very good screening test, but it is not perfect. A single Pap test may miss up to 20 percent of abnormalities. Changes that are missed once are usually found the next time.http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/under…
  All so HPV can regress and reoccur.
  Your Pap test looks for abnormal cells your HPV test shows you have one or more of the 13 high risk types the test screens for.
  You can test negative for high risk HPV and still have the virus. The HPV test will not show abnormal if there is not enough cells in the testing sample or your body is keeping the virus suppressed.
  HPV test are standard of care for the woman over 30 or your doctor may order this test at any time.
  They are about 15 high risk HPV types. The vaccine only prevents two high risk HPV types 16 and 18. The vaccine also does not treat the HPV types that you have. If your HPV test was positive you one or more of the 13 high risk HPV types the HPV test screens for.
  Even though you are getting the vaccine it is still important to have annual pelvic screenings Pap with HPV testing.
  Clinical trails are hoping to show that the vaccine also helps the body build antibodies to the infection when they already have the virus.
  Good luck with the vaccine.
• What’s The Best Cure For Genital Warts In Male?
  It seems to spread very easily, but I’m not sure exactly how (maybe check out webmd.com?). The most common treatment is a perscription drug called Valtrex, but I’ve heard people say there are natural cures for this disease (maybe try naturalcures.com or mercola.com?). I think they advise using protection if you have herpes. You should go to a doctor and have him/her do a blood test to determine that you do have herpes. If you are too embarassed to go to a regular doctor, go to Planned Parenthood. They take appointments for guys, too.
• Can I Get Hpv Again With My Same Boyfriend?
  if you’ve tested positive it never goes away.
• If You Have Hpv Is It Always Detectable In A Pap Smear?
  it will never show up on a pap smear. A pap smear shows any changes in the cells of ther cervix, not what caused them. As far as I know, HPV is diagnosed via blood test.
  Although HPV is the major cause of cervical cancer, it’s not the only cause. No other causes will show up on a pap smear, as I said, the pap only detects changes in the cells, not the cause.
  All the best to your friend
