Hello, last year I was diagnosed with HPV after having a pap smear test done. My gynecologist performed a cone biopsy and until recently my pap tests have all turned out negative.I was told I will always have the virus in my body and have to always use condom so as not to pass the HPV to my current boyfriend. I want to know if my body really will not get cured from this and should I always keep using condoms? Thanks for your reply
At this time, unfortunately, there is no cure available for HPV, and it does remain in your body. Hopefully someday a cure will be found, but for now you should always use a condom, so the infection is not transmitted. The other thing is that you have had the HPV for a while so its possible your boyfriend has already picked up the infection. Men typically get little bumps or growths on their genital area. It's not easy to check for this infection in men until the lesions become obvious. In any case, you should still use condoms because he may not have gotten the disease yet, and you could prevent that from happening. Hope this helps.
