"Firstly, there is no cure for HPV. Most people’s immune system will suppress or clear the virus, usually within 2 years of exposure and generally show no symptoms. Even if mild symptoms do occur, most can clear without treatment. Secondly, the dangerous cancer causing HPV strains do not cause warts. The wart strains are harmless, but also just as contagious and they can be treated. Thirdly, although condoms can still allow transmission - since transmission is via skin to skin contact and not via bodily fluids, wearing them can still be beneficial. Fourthly, the HPV vaccine isn’t marketed as a ‘therapeutic’ treatment; however, there is some evidence that it may help to clear the virus. Also, even if you’ve been diagnosed with one or two strains, it will give you protection from the other strains in the vaccine. Finally, doctors do not tell infected people to stop having sex, since 80% of the sexual active population will have it anyway and there’s no screening for men. Which is why the vaccine is offered to men (especially men who meet men) on the NHS. To answer the original question: your male friend can still have sex, but wearing a condom may help to give some protection and look at having the vaccine. Presently, I don’t know whether he can be tested for HPV, but it’s worth researching that. Hope this helps. J" Spot on! | |||

"That is a super answer thank you so much. He has no symptoms and yes not the wart strain but the cancer strain he has been exposed to. With the cancer strain can most people get rid of the virus themselves in a couple of years or is that just the less serious strains?" The information I was given about it when I had my smear is that if they detect HPV they offer no treatment unless you also have precancerous cells too. If you just have HPV you will be asked to have another smear in a years time to check that your immune system has cleared it. So they don’t seem all that worried about it. They’ve only recently changed the way they do smears, so presumably before there were lots of women who had it but didn’t know. | |||

This is exactly the advice we were given last year only I never would of been able to articulate it so accurately from memory | |||
