HPV risk for protected anal with CSW - STDs - MedHelp

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question.

Essentially, you are asking a) the likelihood your commerical partner had anal HPV; b) if she did, the chance you might catch it after a single exposure; and c) the further likelihood given that the exposure was condom-protected.

As you might imagine, there are absolutely no available data on which to base an answer.??I would guess that the chance you were infected was low, since you used a condom.??But I really can't say more.

However, you definitely should NOT "be worried about future relationships and harming someone else because of this".??As a sexually active person, assuming you have had several different sex partners in your life, you can assume you have been infected with HPV -- and for all you know, may still be carrying a genital HPV infection.??Almost everyone is infected, and your risk is no higher because of this event than it was before.??In any case, it is almost never possible to trace a newly discovered HPV infection to any particular partner or exposure.??That applies both to you, in the event you ever diagnosed with HPV, or in any sex partners you may have in the future.

These are the reasons that we generally advise sexually active people to disregard HPV. You can't avoid being infected (apart from vaccination to protect against 4 of the most troublesome HPV types), and can do nothing terribly effective to reduce the risk of transmitting HPV to partners.

Your motive are good:??you don't want to risk your health or that of future partners.??But trust me on this:??it is unlikely you have significantly elevated that risk because of this particular exposure.

I hope this has helped.??Best wishes--??HHH, MD
