I'm m/30, and I've been diagnosed and treated for hpv. I had the warts frozen, and now I'm waiting to see if they fall off or if I need more treatments. My question is after they fall off, if they do, will I be able to have sex again and not have to worry about getting another outbreak or spreading them to my fiance, and if noone's came up with a vaccine for men, would I truly wanna risk giving my fiance hpv? Luckily she was vaccinated prior to use meeting, and her test results were negative for hpv. I can't moraly have sex with her again til I know I'm sure she can't get it. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm not sure but I do think it's very noble of you to have so much concern. There's not that many men like that. I think it's something you should probably talk to the Dr about. Good luck!

Definitely talk to your doc. Worst case scenario she'd get warts too, but that's low end hpv and ironically much better to get than high risk hpv. As hard as it is, I recomend you sit her down at an appropriate time and explain your situation and that you care for her well being. I'm sure she will understand...and yes, it's nice that you are concerned. Also, if she is 26 or younger it's not a bad idea to suggest the gardasil vaccine. Defintely don't just take your chances and sleep with her anyway, it can still be spread with a condom and you can even spread it if you don't have a current outbreak. Best wishes.

she has had the vaccine, she's only 21. I had her get tested and her results came back negative for hpv. What I want to know is will it be safe to have sex with her ever again?

since you've already had sex with her, there's a good chance that you've already exposed her to the hpv strains that you have, and you know you have the 'low risk' strains that can potentially cause warts, but you may also have 'high risk' strains...many people have multiple strains of hpv. unfortunately, there's no guarantee that you won't expose her to your strains of hpv. and, if she's had previous partners to you, then she could already have hpv as well. it's great that she's had the gardasil vaccine...that may help protect her. she'll definitely want to be sure she keeps up with her gyn checkups. remember that condoms will help prevent transmission...but not fully. and, hpv related cancers also include oral and anal cancers, so both of you should take those risks into consideration to you. unfortunately, having sex includes risk of hpv transmission.

I really think that we all hope not to get any diseases, but that one has to be very adult about our bodies for these viruses has concequences that can be devastating. So speak to your doctor and be responsible.

She may have tested negatine for hpv but sometimes it takes a year a more after the fact to test positive for hpv...that was the case for me.
