I just found out today that my boyfriend has HPV. We have had unprotected sex 3 times since i just got my depo shot about 2 weeks ago. I really regret doing that. What are the chances that I have HPV and can I go to the Dr and get tested for it this week even though i'm on my period? Any information would be great cause I'm scared.

I'm assuming he has found warts on his penis? There is a chance that you didn't get infected but I would say that the chances are pretty good that you have contracted the wart virus too. As a consolation, the HPV strain which causes warts, are not dangerous. You do need to be treated though. Unforunately, there are no tests that will show whethter you have contracted the virus (yeah there may be "some" test, but they are probably very expensive and most doc's will not do them). You should though, talk to your doctor. He/she will probably advise you to check yourself regularly and look for warts in addition to regular gynecological checkups. There's really not much you can do now until the warts show up (if they do). The process can take from months to years.
