Can I have sex with someone who has HPV?

HPV stands for human papillomavirus, and many of us have no idea about this disease. HPV can generally be divided into high-risk and low-risk. High-risk HPV is not contagious, so sexual intercourse is allowed, while low-risk HPV may test positive, and if you have sex at this time, you may also transmit the virus to your partner.

The drug treatment for HPV mainly consists of interferon suppositories and interferon tablets. However, there are two types of HPV: high-risk and low-risk. High-risk is not contagious, so you can have sex regardless of whether you take medicine or not. But if it is low risk. At this time, only medication is used for treatment and no HPV testing is performed. That is to say, when the HPV test is still positive, having sex in this case may transmit the HPV virus to the other person.

So many HPV patients would think, don’t condoms have a good effect in isolating the virus? Wouldn’t it be okay to have sex with condoms? In fact, this idea is even more wrong, because condoms can only play a contraceptive role, and its contraceptive rate is not 100%. However, the size of the HPV virus is much smaller than that of sperm, so even if you wear a condom, it is possible to transmit HPV to the other person. Therefore, low-risk patients should not have sex until their test results turn negative.

If the HPV virus turns negative, it will no longer be able to spread. At this time, if you do not plan to use contraception, you can have sex even without wearing a condom. However, if a woman is infected with HPV, since the female vagina is a very special and fragile part, if she has sex within a short period of time during drug treatment, for safety reasons, it is best to wear a condom before having sex.

The above is the introduction to "Can I have sex while taking HPV medication?" From the above, we can see that there are two types of HPV: high-risk and low-risk. High-risk HPV patients can have normal sexual intercourse. Low-risk HPV patients can also have sex if their test results turn negative after treatment. However, if the HPV virus in the body is still positive and it is still contagious, it is best not to have sex.
