he has been tested for std's and says that the q-tip test says that he doesnt have anything…what should i suggest? please provide me with websites and documents to support your answer if you can
Personally, the best way is to know eachother's history as well. ask him if any of his ex's have HPV, cause even if it doens't show in him, it might have in a past partner.
I know it doesn't seem very "right" to ask about his exs, but trust me, it's better than finding those bumps, going to the doctor and finding out you have HPV, going through test after test when they tell you that you MAY have cancer, finally getting the all clear, but still feeling horribly guilty and shamed about the fact you've got an STD.
I'm still slowly accepting it…but it is hard. I had protected sex with a good friend, only to find out later that his ex had HPV/Genital warts. and he didn't tell me and I didn't ask, cause I didn't think it was right… but I wish I had.
There currently no test to detect HPV in men. Q-tip test is just trying to check if he has other STD's. He may have gotten a q-tip test but he doesn't realize that it can't detect HPV. HPV in men is somethign hard to detect unless you can see gential warts on him.
Have you had yourself checked for HPV? if you haven't you should, or on your yearly check up you might want to ask your doctos about the precautions you could take to not get HPV.
I did a search on HPV and one of the sites I found helpful was hpvsafety.com/how_to_get_test…
Good luck!
There is no male test for HPV, so if he said he got tested for it, he's lying. I'd ask to see the results on paper before you go anywhere near him.
HPV is very hard to trace in men.MOst studies have been on women. for a man to know he has HPV for him to have Genital Warts if he has HPV but not hte genital warts kind he will never know. Men are more like the carrier of all types of HPV.
3/4women have some type of hpv and many dont know this cuz there are not always signs.many types of HPV can be dormant (sleeping)in the body.it's important to get a pap 1yr .2 trace back the one is impossible as again men are carriers and may never know if they are carrying the virus.
please check out Gardisil this is for prevention of 4 types of HPV.
there are so many types of HPV some are still being discovered
good luck

there is no hpv test for a man unless he has genital warts
You should both see a doctor. you may have already been infected.
