HPV !! HELP PLEASE

HPV isn't rare, about half of the world's population will be infected with one form or another at some point in their life. Its relatively harmless to men with a very small percentage developing genital warts, penile cancer or anal cancer (not the same as Colorectal cancer which is much more common).
Since you've been with nobody but your partner for a few months now, I think its safe to assume that he may have passed it on to you. Having sex with him is just something that you'll need to discuss and decide on between you. If he did give it to you then I couldn't imagine any reason why you couldn't continue your sex life as normal, but refrain from moving onto other sexual partners until this has been dealt with.

I have a friend who went through this and it turned into cancer. she got it from her first sexual encounter.she was 18 only last month did she finally get an all clear, it didnt run into pre cancerous, it made a break for cancer.shes 21 now and while shes had several procedures and a assload of drugs stuffed into her, and some radiation, shes now clear and only has to go for testing every 6 months for the next 2 years to keep an eye on it, if shes clear after that its once a year. its not something to fuck around with, dont be thinking because your young its not going to hit you as hard, deal with it, erradicate it. seek medical help and dont just forget about it.

It's going to hard to tell if you'll ever be clean or if the virus will act up again.

theres no way of testing males for hpv unless they have visible signs like warts if they dotn have warts theres no way of finding out males that have this.

Point taken.

I think it probably could be done, but it wouldn't be easy. As you say, the wart viruses that can lead to cancer are different strains from the viruses that cause visible warts, so males have no symptoms.The viruses can't go through condoms, but they can go around - they can be transferred by skin-skin contact at places not covered by condoms. Condoms do provide some protection, but it's only partial.
