You can catch HPV from oral sex. I think that you could possibly catch oral herpes, and you could possibly catch genital herpes though transfer from mouth to genitals is less common.

Gotta Watch Out For These Guys Posted: 12-12-07 21:38pm


The few times I was ever with my former boyfriend, I just never had the slightest clue he wasn't clean. He wasn't. Put a lot of pressure on me. Lonely, lost my husband, probably a pretty good target. Not blaming him. I made my own choices too. Had oral sex with him too and next thing you know I had this really sore throat, looked and saw that my tongue was green. My doctor thought I had clymedia at the very least. They gave me a shot. It took care of it. Hope you will be alright.

PSA: Condoms and dental dams are good ways to protect yourself in these situations.

it's like a condom. It's basically a rectangle of material that you hold over the vulva while you perform oral sex (on a woman). It protects you from ingesting vaginal secretions. You can do the same thing by cutting the tip off a condom and slicing down the side, or cut open a latex glove, or use non-microwaveable plastic wrap.

how unromantic that scene sounds to me. If this is how I would have oral sex with someone I rather don't have it. I couldn't be turn on with that. I think it's way better to stablish a serious relationship with someone, get both tested and then enjoy having sex.

I Totally Agree Posted: 12-15-07 18:24pm


Nightangle. Got to rule with the head not the heart in matters of the heart. It can be a hard road to travel on learning these things. Getting back to the subject of HPV, once you have it and don't have any sympthoms, can you still expose another person to it? Are you going to have it for the rest of your life? Isn't HPV like HIV in that you can be a carrier and not necessarily have any physical sympthoms but yet can pass it on to your partner? Are some people just more immune to catching HPV?

well i tell you like this. I have hpv the cervical type. I contracted it with my first time sex. I have learned too. That guy didn't know he was a carrier until I told him. Well time after I then had other bf and still with having abnormal paps. I broke with that one too. I did told him I had hpv before we had sex so he was aware. And I told him after breakup he needed to say to next partners so they are aware that he was now carrier. Well time after he chatted with me online and told me that gf at the time got tested for hpv and nothing, all clear. So maybe I'm the one with the weak cervix hehe. So I guess it depends on the inmunity and the strain. I don't think I have a high risk strain because mine has dissapeared on it's own. I had displasya por a year and half but always the colposcopy were negative so they never did anything. My pap's are now normal.

Just Love Your Honest Response Posted: 12-16-07 01:43am


Not that this has anything to do with anything, but my godson, a brilliant architect who belongs to his mother, are my friends. Love them, they love me. African American born to Jewish Mother. They are beloved to me. Thanks for your response Nightangel because it seems to me that maybe some people never develop HPV but that doesn't mean they are not a threat to socity. Is there hope that if the pap's come back negitive for some time, we can put this behide us?

Typically if it goes away on it's own what happens is that the virus has integrated to your DNA. Once intregrated the cells will reproduce like that with the viral code in it but it will cause no harm ever. The problem lies with the high risk strains. Those are the ones that tend to come back again. They are agressive to make your cells abnormal over and over. And there is no cure. You just have to deal it the rest of your life. Hysterectomy ultimatetly is the best option. What I have read is that if having high risk strains having a healthy life is the best thing. Anything that compromises your inmune system, like too much stress for example will increase your chances of flaring it up because your inmune system will be weaker. Even tho I'm back to normal I like to take folic acid supplements. Folic acid promotes good cell reproduction so that will always help your cervix with the hpv.

Putting it behind? Oh well since there is no cure even if we are normal we can't miss those yearly tests just to make sure everything is all right..

However, most people don't do that!

Birth control isn't romantic either, but we still use that. HPV isn't romantic either.

Ladies, You Are Both Right Posted: 12-17-07 14:20pm


Guess I was just trying to convince myself that if my next Pap came back negative, then I could go on with my life. After talking to Meblondie and Nightangel, I now see with the high risk types, it is here to stay. Yes, and to try to reduce stress although in my situation it is difficult with a lot of pressure on me about my property. What do we do when put into a place where we want to be with someone? Like Georgia said, use protection. And for all the people out there who never had the slightest clue it was important, this is a new day and a new world we live in. Don't make the mistake I made. Take care of protecting yourselves.

What is best is to limit your number of sexual partners over your life. The more partners you have the higher your chances of getting different hpv strains.

How True Posted: 12-17-07 23:28pm


The Bad News Bears If You haven't and are stupid enough to go with somebody that you think is clean because he says he is. Now, for me, I will never go with anybody again. This guy burned me pretty good. Burned his wife too. I have yet to understand how any man could possibly divorce his wife when she was six months pregnant. There is a lot I cannot understand. I know that. Baby to be born in two more months and he says he is going to have a wonderful relationship with his children. I cannot judge their decisions. Both pretty happy to see the end of the other one.

Can't Let Is Get to You :) Posted: 12-19-07 06:09am


You can't ruion your own sex life just because one guy did that one bad thing. All you have to do is drag your next partner into the clinic with you and if he loves he wont fight having an exam. I contracted HPV from who knows who, and found out 8 out of 10 women who have it dont even know it. I found out because of some abnormal cells in my cervix. Just because you paps come back normal doesnt mean you cant spread it anymore. By all means, you can still spread it. it's in your blood stream, its in the mucus in your vagina. It's an incurable virus that doesnt just go away by itself. It'll always be there. My current partner is committed to me no matter what, and he told me if he's committed to me he's going to be committed to all of me, icluding my hpv. You gotta find a man like that

Well it is really nothing for the men. They will never get cervical cancer with hpv like we women do.

The point is, people are going to have sex, and most people have sex with people who they aren't 100% sure are clean. In that situation, you need protection, and people need to know about what protection is available. On that note, people who have HPV aren't suddenly not worth having sex with, you just need to be educated and know how to prevent spreading it.

Thanks You Guys Posted: 12-19-07 15:32pm


After I found out, it was like the light went out as far as ever wanting to be with him and I am not out there looking for anybody else. Wasn't looking for him either. I had a wonderful husband who loved me and I look back at my life as being happy with a lot of blessings. And, a life before me with my children and grandchild, my faith, my winemaking. Have lots to do here taking care of my place. I know I keep ragging on about this, but Georgia and Nightangel, when you go in for your Pap smear and it comes back clear and negative, can it show you don't have HPV or will it always show that you do have HPV? Just can't seem to quite wrap my mind around the concept of that answer! Can a person go in for a pap smear and it comes back clear for HPV even though they have been with a partner who was with me who now has HPV and they had multiple partners who claim they are clean and clear of HPV? Thanks.
