I have been diagonise with gential warts.
I have had intercourse only with my one
partner in the last 5 years. They say you
could have the HPV virus for a while
before an actual wart breakout. Obviously,
I contracted it from her. Is it possible
that if she goes and gets a paps that she
will NOT show or have any signs of the
HPV?
PAP-test can't identify infection with
HPV. PAP-test can only identify some
epithelial cell changes (called squamous
intraepithelial lesions - SIL) that can be
caused by some types of HPV-infection. If
such SIL is detected, DNA-HPV-test is
requested to prove the presence of HPV.
Have you had any other sexual partner
before the current one? It is not
important how long ago.
