I had genital warts removed 17 years ago and way before the hpv shots were given out...I have never had them since...I have had 5 children since...my husband has never had them and we have been together for 16 years...should I worry?how would I know if I have hpv
Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. I am sorry to hear that you had genital warts as a young adult. Genital warts are by definition an HPV infection. You have been symptom free for over 16-17 years, so you have produced your own antibodies. If you no longer have warts and your husband has not had any outbreaks then the chance for him getting the is very low. I feel I can reassure you that you do not need to worry. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again for any of your medical questions.
