can you get hpv other ways then having sex with someone who's infected?
the hpv virus is very easily transmitted from person to person. fingers, mouths, sharing sex toys without washing in between are all thought to be ways of transmitting hpv.
yes, if you marry this dude and no one ever cheats. but still, why not protect yourself? get the vaccine so you are totally safe. i hope your boyfriend is always faithful but you never know, things happen. this vaccination is supposed to be given before the age of 25 years, i think. i do not know of a test for hpv for men anyway at this time. it is very very contageous and running rampid. my step-daughter was not promiscuous and she found out she had hpv after she was married. who really knows where her husband got it? and it doesn't matter they have a good marriage. anyway, he has no symptoms but she has had to have surgery. i wish we would have known about this vaccine or it would have been available when she was younger. i would have made sure she got the vaccine when she was in my care as a teenager. then, she would not have ever had to suffer. she has a daughter and will make sure she is vaccinated. the vaccination is a blessing and only provides protection. be thankful it is available and get it.

ok valid answer - here is a copy of an article and if you are 26 you can still get it:
 
human papillomavirus, a disease that causes 70 percent of cervical cancer cases and 90 percent of genital warts cases, is most common for people in their late teens and early twenties, according to the centers for disease control and prevention web site.

"if i were a 26-year-old who had never had intercourse or had never been exposed to the virus, i'd get the vaccine," said dr. roger yandell in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the texas tech health sciences center. "it definitely has more impact on younger girls, though. the cervix changes during menarche, a girl's first period. that's when it's most susceptible to the virus, so we try to start the vaccine just before that takes place." 

the advisory committee on immunization practices consists of 15 experts - selected by the secretary of the u.s. department of health and human services - who provide advice and guidance to the cdc. the committee recommends women through age 26 years old receive catch-up vaccinations, according to the cdc web site.

"you have to look at what we're trying to treat," yandell said. "cervical cancer is really what we're talking about here, and on a lesser scale, genital warts. this is the most common disease for causing either of those." Hello-
Unprotected oral sex is common, but has risks. Several sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, HPV, and viral hepatitis can be passed on through oral sex. "It's safer sex, but it's definitely not safe sex." You can consult me privately on lybrate ..as full and detailed case history is required here..
Sexual issues can be treated with homeopathy..depending upon the severity of the case only covidiots think they have the right to infect others with a potentially fatal illness. i know hormones can affect how wet a female gets, for example taking the pill. did you recently go on the pill or start other hormone based contraception? unlikely but not impossible. i would suggest that you start your new method of contraception as soon as possible.<br><br>best wishes look into dr. shettles method, we were just talking on a post about this the other day. he tells you how to have a boy or girl. The answer is b.  

  

Mumps virus infection can directly affect the testicles, producing an orchitis, often very painful, and consequently infertility. Posttesticular causes are those that affect sperm transport, and pretesticular causes are those that affect the hormones that stimulate the testicles. dear scary j<br><br>a vasectomy is a safe and highly effective operation designed to make a man sterile. a doctor cuts the two tubes — called the vas deferens — that carry sperm from the testes to the pouch in the scrotum that holds the semen prior to ejaculation. in the simplest terms, a vasectomy blocks the only outlets sperm have to leave the body. the sperm is reabsorbed into the body. men who get vasectomies can still have sex and ejaculate, but their semen won&#39;t contain any sperm, so it can&#39;t fertilize an egg and cause a pregnancy. <br><br>in the most common type of vasectomy, the doctor makes a small incision, or cut, on each side of the scrotum. he then lifts the vas deferens tubes to the surface, snips them in two, cauterizes their ends or ties each end off (some doctors use a titanium clip instead), and stitches up the scrotum. the procedure is usually performed right in the doctor&#39;s office. it takes about 30 to 60 minutes and only requires a local anesthetic, so you&#39;re awake through the procedure.<br><br>i would suggest that you collect a number of sperm samples for freezing purposes before the vasectomy is done. in this way the good quality sperm can be kept and frozen for future use and may be cryo-preserved for at least 10 years if not more. in this way, should a decision be subsequently made to have another pregnancy, the situation can be dealt with by means of a simple intra-uterine insemination process. sorry about your diagnosis. i too was given the diagnosis of pof this past february, after a failed ivf cycle. i was told that my only chance to have a successful ivf cycle would be to use donor eggs. so that is what my husband and i are doing next month. i have regular monthly periods though, apparently unlike you. if you truly have a diagnosis of pof, there are not any fertility medications that will make it possible for you to create a genetic family. sorry. it's a fact. you can use the strongest fertility stim meds at the highest doses, and it won't do you any good. furthermore, having a period does not mean that you're ovulating...which is exactly the point of having pof. there is no pharmaceutical way, nor technological way available right now to provide the opportunity for a woman who has pof to have her own eggs retrieved. perhaps you were mistaken with what your diagnosis was? i would ask your re again. best of luck to you. if you have any further questions, please feel free to email me. i am here to provide support for you as well.
addtl info: i just realized that you stated that you aren't able to get into an re until june 2nd. so who gave you the diagnosis of pof? i suppose your gyn? not meaning to knock your doctor, but the reality is that a gyn is simply not educated enough nor specialized enough to make this diagnosis. coming to the conclusion of pof is made via blood work and exams. also, it usually is made only after a round of stim meds fails miserably. i suggest you get a real diagnosis when you see an re. you probably simply will find that you just need a some clomid to help "kick start" your period. but that's a far cry from actually having pof.
