History: They had genital warts come up in Sept. 2023. Removed in June 2024. 

Questions: 1. I'm getting my 1st shot of HPV vaccine today. So, once 1 month has passed from my 2nd shot of HPV (2-3 months from now). Do you think it is safe to have sex with them? Assuming no recurrences for them (it would have been 4-5 months since their removal for them). I don't think we know what strain they have? 

2. I am predisposed to having skin tags and moles on skin. that does not mean i would more likely develop warts or anything if i were to contract HPV?

3. Does them showing symptoms from HPV mean anything about their immune system in general? In my past post, I was concerned about passing HSV-1 to them but does this change anything or are they unrelated. I guess I just need reassurance that this does not change anything about my past STD scare and risk to them. (had some past conflicting emotions come up after I found out) 

Due to my limited sexual history, I'm okay with taking some risk and I realize most people would have/had HPV so the only thing is they showed symptoms and I know about it now.

1. Congratulations on your decision to get the HPV vaccine. It is highly protective against the types of HPV included in the vaccine including the two HPV types which caused over 95% of genital warts. I would add that using condoms consistently with this partner would reduce your risk of acquiring HPV from them about 60% additionally.  Three or four weeks following injection of the second dose of HPV vaccine. You will be protected from infections from this partner and your risk of infection. Will drop to virtually zero.

2.  There is no relationship between skin tags and moles. The fact that you get skin tags and or moles is in no way related to your risk or likelihood of acquiring HPV.

3.  Acquiring HPV has no implication regarding the strength of a person’s immune system. In fact, amongst unvaccinated, sexually active persons, over 80% will acquire HPV. This interesting fact is true even for monogamous person’s, over 60% of whom will acquire  HPV within six months of beginning to have sexual intercourse.
