Do Papillomaviruses Spread Through Intercourse?

hello, i just had conization because of the presence of severe dysplasia caused by papillomavirus. My doctor will vaccinate me in the near future. Should i use the condom with my boyfriend in the period before the vaccination (we are together 1.5 year) since i think is very likely that i have given the virus to him, hence he can give it back to me? Am i correct?

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Yes, you should use protection till you get vaccinated, because HPV can be sexually transmitted. You are correct that your boyfriend might be carrying HPV and can give it to you again.

I hope I have helped you with this answer.

Thanks.
