Thread: Sex With Hpv In A Relationship

Hi All,

I Am 24 Years Old And Recently Discovered I Am Hpv Positive.
I Have Been With The Same Man For 7 Years. Doctor Said I Could Have Gotten It Years Ago, But It Only Now Appeared On My Pap.
My Question Is, If I Am In A Monogomous Relationship, Do We Still Have To Use Condoms. We Both Obviously Have The Same Strain, But I Feel Like I Should'nt Have To Use Condoms Because Of Our Long Standing Relationship (and I Don't Want To). I Am Waiting On Test Results From My Second Cervical Biopsy, So I Don't Know If I Will Need Cells Removed Or Anything At All. My Doctor Will Probably Also Talk To Me About This Situation.
We Plan On Getting Married And Having Children Eventually So, I Don't Feel Right Having To Use Condoms With The Man I've Loved And Been With For So Long.
If There Are Any Women Who Are Married Or In A Stable Relationship And Have Had A Similar Situation, Please Give Me Any Feedback.
Thanks

Remember, condoms also prevent pregnancy - so if you don't want kids now and aren't using any other form of birth control, you should be using them.

If you are on birth control and are worried about the disease factor, well - that's what condoms are for. Is it possible he has gotten something from someone else and passed it on to you? Either way, this is definitely a conversation for your doctor - and I recommend your BF be there.

Hi! well I have HPV also.. and Ive read alot about it and the doctors have told me alot. And from I understand a condom isnt going to help.. they say any gential contact you will get it. I guess you dont even have to have sex to get it. And if yall have been together that long then i wouldnt see that it would matter.

Hi,

Thanks for the input. I appreciate all the info I can get.
I actually saw my doctor yesterday and he said the same thing, since i am in a stable, long-term relationship, condom use wasent neccessary.
Thanks alot. Take care.

Hi Kiwi,

First Off, I Would Like To Thank You For Sharing Your Story. I Have Been All Over This Site Looking For Answers. I Am Always Scared When I Go To The Gyno, But I Realize That If I Keep Having My Regular Paps Then, In The Worst Case Senario, They Find Pre-cancerous Cells, Then At Least I Can Get Them Removed As You Did. Thanks Again. Your Input Helps More Than You Know.
Take Care.
