Does CIN 3 Spread To The Partner During Intercourse?
Hi, I am 39, a mother of three. I had never had a pap smear, unfortunately, until this summer. The result came back unsatisfactory and after a colposcopy, it was told to be CIN 3. The biopsy showed no cancer. During the procedure the doctor had done what she called " catterisation". After 8 weeks I have repeated the colposcopy and the bipsy again and the results were clear.
Now ... i am very concerned to have a normal love life with my husband. What if I have given the virus to him? How can we check that? What if he can give it back to me again?

Glad that your results have come good. Everyone needs to understand that cancer and precancerous conditions are not sexually transmitted. true that cancer cervix is caused by viruses but once the virus enters the body, antibodies form and reinfection with the same virus doesnt occur. You must have transmitted the virus to your partner long back and he too must have developed immunity. So it would be better to stop worrying over transmission now
