HPV prevention in males?

so a few months ago me and my girlfriend broke up to see other people





anyways she was with this guy for a few months and decided to sleep with him, and she got HPV, she has a form that causes cancer, she has pre-cancerous cells right now





anyways, she broke up with him after he started wanting children, which she does not want right now in life





she came back to me, we are in love, i never lost my love for her, but anyways





i told her that in this relationship, i do not need sex, i can love without sex, she understands, but sh wants to know because she thinks it will be torture on my life to not have sex (she cant figure out that lust and love are different, but i love her so... yea)





she wants to know how to prevent spreding it to me if we do end up having sex one day, yes i know condoms help 70% of the time, but i want to know if there are any other measures out there to prevent me from contracting this





thanks

Reply:don't think Gardasil has been approved for men but that doesn't mean you can't ask your DR to give it to you if he says no ask her DR for it or just keep asking around someone will give it to you.





that should protect you - Gardasil is what you want. you can sign up for the study or doctors can opt to give it to other people "off license" if they wish yes they can.....
Reply:well you do know that HPV causes cancer in harldy any men,right? You do know that most males are have HPV and dont even know it? You may already have it, and not be showing any symptoms. I don't see what the big deal is, it seems like not that big of a problem, especially if you love someone. Or are you just afraid to commit and using HPV as an excuse not to get close to her?
Reply:Firstly, Gardasil is only for women under 26. Research is currently being done for an HPV vaccine for men.





HPV is very easily transmitted, and condoms are one of your only options if intercourse is what you're wanting. There are a variety of other sexual activities that are safer. You can always have oral sex (still using a condom and/or dental dam).





Always, when STIs are a concern, talk to your doctor.
Reply:At present HPV vaccine is available only for women aged below 26 years. Medical research is being made to discover vaccine for men and also for women (above 26 years of age).
Reply:the reason condoms are not 100% at preventing the spread of this disease, is the virus lives on the skin of the abdomen, the thighs and pelvic regions. even if you just showered, the viurs is there. they haven't invented a body condom yet, so you are at risk. although the incidence is small, it IS possible for men to get "urethral condolyma"---cancer in the urethra. i'd suggest talking to an STD specialist about protecting yourself should you choose to remain with her.
Reply:HPV is a lot different in males than females. I would say its riskier for women than men to have HPV. Since she has pre cancerous cells, she has HPV type 16 or 18 I think. There is a vaccine called Gardasil for women, but since she already has HPV, the vaccine might not work. They are currently working on a vaccine for men. There are 50+ types of HPV known. The most common are 6,11,16, and 18. Those account for 90% of HPV cases. Experts estimate that that over 40 million americans have HPV, many of them never have any symptoms whatsoever.
Reply:If I were you I'd be most concerned about having genital herpes.
