My girlfriend of 6 months has found out after a recent pap smear that she has an hpv strain. I think like cells that were carrying the condition. I heard from sources that you can carry contract hpv without sexual contact. They found some abnormal cells in her cervical region and they are going to test them for cancer. Do you think the test was incorrect? We have never had any physical contact at any point in our lives so I know I don’t have it. The problem is I want to have a life and future with her and hopefully have a family. Can someone give me more information and maybe something I can tell her to convince her I still love her and want to be with her?

HPV is a very irritating thing to have. After my husband and I were married, and pregnant with our second child, we found out we had it. Don’t know who had it first to this day. But it has not kept us from loving each other or having very healthy HPV free babies. As long as you care for yourself properly, you will have no problems. It seems you very much care for her, and you already know she has it and you’re still there, that alone says alot. Good Luck P.S: It’s just as catchable for either sex.
very recently studies found that condoms prevent the transmission of HPV by 60-70%, if i was you, i would consult a doctor to see how you would engage in sex, because right now what’s going through your head is not if you want to be with her, it’s “what’s going to happen if i have sex with her?” i’m pretty sure you’re very much in love and you want to cherish that, so you do what you have to do as a responsible boyfriend to work around the issue, good luck and God bless.
