Hello there! I recently found out that my boyfriend has been diagnosed with HPV (he gave me the impression that hes known for a while). I know that its a fairly common condition and many strains clear up on their own (which is why Im confused as to why he may still have it). I am unsure of what particular strain he has.Weve yet to have sex, but can I get it through kissing or holding hands?I have had all three doses of the Gardasil vaccine, how long will that last? What exactly does it protect me from?Ive heard condoms are not particularly helpful in preventing the spread of HPV, is this true? Is oral sex utterly out of the question? Can I catch HPV if he preforms oral sex on me? Should I be concerned about digital stimulation/penetration, both him acting on me and vice versa?  Is there a way to have safe sex? He claims to be mostly asymptomatic and Ive never seen a wart or the like on him, but can I still catch it?

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) affects only the skin, and it will be localized to the wart. Once the wart is cleared by topical application of cream you will become free from infection. It is transmitted to your partner, if you indulge in unprotected sexual activity during the presence of lesion. Once the wart is cleared by the topical medicines you can have normal sexual activity, and you will be non-infectious.5% McQuade cream should be applied over the wart on alternate days for 4 months. Before application of this cream you need to apply Vaseline over the wart, and then you have to apply the McQuade cream.Meanwhile you have to boost up your immunity which helps to clear your wart. To boost the immunity you need to take orally capsule Lincoln, daily for 30 days. Thank you.
