[Question #13852] Hpv

3 hours ago

Hello Drs. I have been thinking a lot and I’m worried about something that I just learned about. Hpv. In total I have had 5 protected oral encounters outside of my marriage. Btw we have only ever been with each other for 11 years. I had 4 encounters 2+ years ago in a span of a a few months. And then in January I had that encounter that we spoke about. They were all the same. Protected oral and that was it. I never knew that hpv was even a thing up until a couple weeks ago when my wife’s doctor advised her to go get a Pap smear done. Since she hasn’t done one ever in her life. She is going to be 26 in a few months and I am 28. Reason why she’s been prolonging it was because when she was around 8-9 years old she was sexually assaulted by a family member and never went to get checked if the individual gave her anything and her family never knew about it so they also didn’t take the proper precautions to have her checked. To her knowledge she wasn’t penetrated with his penis it was just his fingers as well as he had him touch his penis as well. Besides that she has never had any other sexual contact. We are both vaccinated but I don’t think we have the one that carries the 9 strains of protection since we got the vaccine at a young age. I got my vaccine at the age of 13 in 2011 and my wife got hers at the age of 11 in 2012. I only got 2 doses of it and she received 3 doses. I did have a relationship before my wife but we only ever kissed and french kissed. That’s it. With all that info I have some questions I hope you can help me with. I also want to point out that the 5 encounters I have had outside my marriage are the EXACT same. A prostitute. That I picked up and gave protected oral.

1. What is the chance that I got hpv and gave it to my wife?

2. I haven’t had sex with my wife since my last encounter because of fear of giving her something. Last time we had sex was last December. Since I had an encounter in January with a prostitute do u think I should wait to continue sex with my wife or should I wait for the Pap smear she has in April?

3. With the vaccine we received back in 2011-2012, is that going to lessen the chance that if a hpv strain were to take hold it would clear it faster.

4. Since it’s been 2+ years since my first 4 encounters would it likely that her Pap smear won’t show anything abnormal and hpv would be negative if I got a strain from one of the 4 women?

5. I’ve been reading a lot on this forum and I have leaned a lot about hpv especially when it comes to oral. But does having 5 different oral encounters higher my chance of getting hpv.

6 I have put most of my worries away when it comes to every other std/hiv. I tested negative for gonorrhoea chlamydia. I also tested negative for HIV at 4 weeks since my last encounter. I also took 7 days of doxy as well as 1g of azithro. On top of that I am on a course of 2 months of doxycycline for my acne. Other than hpv is there anything else I should be worried about?

I have been working on my anxiety levels. I am taking ur advice and trying to set up an appointment with a psychologist so I can get over this guilt. Thank you for ur help.
