Should you stop having sex with your partner if she finds out she has HPV?
*There is no need to stop having sexual contact with a partner if she is tested for the virus and finds out she has HPV.
*The virus is commonly exchanged between sexual partners and by the time HPV is detected, it has most likely already been shared between the two of you..
*Once a particular type of the virus has been exchanged, there is little risk of a "ping pong" effect- in which you and your partner keep re-infecting eachother with the same type. (In other words, you dont need to worry about passing the same type of HPV back and forth).
**HOWEVER, If you become sexually involved with a different partner, you may pass any types of HPV that are "active" in your body to her, and vise versa.
