how does a married woman get hpv - #25442
I am confused about how does a married woman get HPV. A few months ago, I was diagnosed after having some weird warts down there and my doctor said it's HPV, which I didn't think I could get being in a committed relationship!! My husband and I have been together for years, and he insisted he didn't cheat on me, but I can't shake this nagging thought that maybe he had it all along and we just never knew?? Like, how does a married woman get HPV, right? I thought this was something that only happened to unmarried people or those being promiscuous. I did read somewhere that it can lay dormant for a long time, which totally freaks me out because I’ve been really careful. We've always used protection, so I just don't understand how this happened. Is it possible for him to have it without showing any signs? I don’t want this looming over our marriage and, honestly, it’s really hard for me to talk to him about it without feeling like I'm accusing him of something. How does a married woman get HPV if we’ve been so careful? Any insights would be super helpful because I'm feeling pretty lost here!
