A person can contract HPV from anything from a toilet seat, to a bikini wax. It's not really an STD, but rather an STI (sexually transmitted infection). It falls under a slightly different classification than an STD.
HPV has been around for more years than the awareness has been. Not all strains of HPV cause cancer, just like not all strains cause warts either. It can lay dormant in a person for YEARS. Currently, there is no test to see if a man carries the virus, so all the blame and responsibility is falling on the woman. But, to refer back to the OP, a condom isn't 100% effective against ANYTHING. E |

Once again, most adults, and especially most who play have HPV in one variety or more. And most adults have herpes. Condoms are not as effective with either HPV or herpes as they are with HIV. That is one reason most of us carry one or both of these STD's. To be more clear, HPV and herpes infection is the norm, not the exception.
It's important for those who play to be aware of this. It is the norm to be infected. Like childhood diseases such as chicken pox (a herpes related virus) we expect to become infected by at least some over the course of life. |

That's right, I had forgotten it wasn't recommended for us, uh, older folks. You're right too, as with all vaccines, it is for PREVENTION not after the fact.

the hpv vaccine is not suggested at this time for over 26. It is also most effective BEFORE any sexual activity takes place in your life, which is why they tend to give it to 12 year olds. It won't cure what is already there. Lots of info on the vaccine out there read it then talk to your dr and see if it might be right for you.

My lady has the HPV for the second time. I do not play with anyone but her and love to see her with others. How can we now swing safely with out harming her or anyone else?? We are very open to any safe ideas (soft swing, limited partners) of what we should do as we would really like to contine but stuck on the aspect of what we can do thats safe for all concerned. I may also add that my sex drive is way lower than hers and the swinging act is about satisfing her.
Any professional logical ideas would greatly be appreciated. Thanks |

It should always be assumed that a prospective sex partner could have HPV, or any other STD, unless you know otherwise. Too often STDs can be asymptomatic, meaning they show no signs of infection. Meaning the only way you can usually know, is to get tested.
Unfortunately, HPV is not one of the easier STDs to detect, so using condoms to reduce your risk of being infected by it, or other STDs is important. |

Most estimates are that most adults have HPV. So assume you have it.
