Hpv......did he cheat?

i have had the same partner now for four years about two years ago i found out i had hpv through a pap.....after that nothing untill now i found out i have a diffrent strand of hpv but i have not had any diffrent partners. I know once you have it, it never really completley goes away but your body can fight it...? i am worried that my boyfriend cheated on me and that is how i got this new strain...? any info would be helpful!

thanks

HPV is VERY VERY VERY common. It's so common in fact that dogs get it. Every person on this planet will get HPV at one time or another...it just all depends on what kind of strand it is...most people get it but their body treats it like a virus (like it would a cold) and get rid of it. There are hundreds of strains of HPV but only a very slight few (few meaning maybe 3) cause cancer and only 2 of them cause gentile warts. It is also VERY VERY rare that a man will develop cancer from HPV.

All strains of HPV are not sexually transmitted; HPV actually isn't a sexually transmitted anything; it does not pass to each other through the fluids of sex, it is on skin-to-skin contact. So let's say you don't have intercourse but you do other things...you don't have to have intercourse for you to get HPV. People get this confused...people also confuse the fact that HPV is not an STD, it is an STI (sexually transmitted infection), it is not a disease...I should know. About 3 weeks ago I tested positive for HPV and I have done more research on this everyday. Funny enough...the only website I have found to give me any kind of comfort was http://dictionary.com ...this is not weird. I just put in HPV and it came up with everything I wanted to know.

He has probably had it for a long time because it stays dormit and most people don't know they have it. And since there is no real test to check men for HPV, there is no sure fire way of knowing. Ask him directly or just bring it up in a conversation.
