My partner’s ex-wife was infected with HPV. Until now, we used a condom, but now we are planning a baby. Can I get the virus from my partner? If so, does that mean I will have cervical cancer?
To make sure your partner is infected with the virus, it’s best to get them to have an HPV test. Perhaps, even if the infection was infected in the past, it has resolved spontaneously. However, if your partner still has HPV, you run the risk of contracting HPV if you have sex without a condom.
However, keep in mind that HPV infection is not the same as cervical cancer. If you are planning a child, you must give up a condom. In this situation, it is worth taking care of increasing the immunity of your body, so that it has a better chance to fight possible infection with HPV. In addition, being aware of the risks, you should undergo regular diagnostic tests, such as cytology or HPV tests. It is also worth getting vaccinated against oncogenic strains of HPV before giving up the condom.
