Default just lost my virginity, may have been exposed to HPV? - 06-06-2008, 10:49 PM

I'm 22 years old. Just lost my virginity about a month ago to my boyfriend of 4 months. We have been using condoms every time we have sex but we made out before without a condom, in which case there was genital to genital contact. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a raised bump on the shaft of his penis. It now looks like a wart. I got the guardrail shots in 2007. Is it still possible for me to get HPV? I waited to lose my virginity and now this??? I have no symptoms, just need some advice. I really love him and he has been avoiding sex because he wants to protect me, which is great but I'm just concerned about catching it. I have been supportive and I do not want to leave him. He has an appointment with his doctor in another week.

Can I get HPV or no?

What precautionary measures should I take besides condoms?

You may want to head to your OBGYN office, to make sure your alright, get some tests run have him get some tests done as well., i think it is still possible for anyone to get anything these days,. if your going to continue having sex, please use condoms at all times, and another effective form of birth control to prevent pregnancy

Most people are exposed to HPV several times throughout their lives. I believe the stats show there is about a 20-25% chance of getting HPV with each new sexual partner.

The good news is that Gardasil protects against the 2 strains of HPV that cause 90% of genital warts (as well at 2 that cause 70% of cervical cancer). It's very unlikely you will develop genital warts, even if your boyfriend has genital warts.

Good luck!

You can still get HPV, herpes, crabs or lice with a condom on. HPV is very common.
