Can I have sex if I have HPV infection?

HPV is a relatively common viral infection, which is mainly divided into two types: high-risk and low-risk. The HPV test method is relatively simple. According to clinical professional examination, if the HPV result is positive, it means that you are infected with HPV. So for some HPV patients who have already received medication, they are most concerned about one question: Can they have sex during the HPV medication period?

The medication for HPV treatment is mainly based on interferon suppositories and interferon suppositories. However, there are two types of HPV, high-risk and low-risk. High-risk does not mean you are infected, so you can have sex with your partner regardless of whether you take medication or not. But if it is low risk. At this time, only medication is used for treatment and no HPV testing is performed. In other words, when HPV is still positive, having sex under such circumstances may transmit the HPV virus to the other party.

So many HPV patients think, don’t condoms have a very good effect in protecting against viral infection? Wouldn’t it be okay to have sex with condoms? In fact, this idea is also wrong, because condoms can only play a contraceptive role, and its contraceptive rate is not 100%. However, the volume of HPV virus is much lower than that of sperm, so even if a condom is worn, it is possible to transmit HPV to the other party. Therefore, it is best for low-risk patients not to have sex until their test results turn negative.

If the HPV virus turns negative, it will not be able to spread. At this time, if there is no contraceptive preparation, you can have sex even without wearing a condom. However, if a woman is infected with HPV, because the female vagina is a very special and sensitive area, if she has sex for a short period of time during the medication treatment period, then for safety reasons, it is best to wear a condom before having sex.

The above is a detailed introduction to "Can you have sex during the HPV medication period?" As can be seen from the above, there are two types of HPV: high-risk and low-risk. High-risk HPV patients can have normal intercourse. However, if the test results of low-risk HPV patients turn negative after treatment, they can also have sex. But if the HPV virus in the body is still positive and it is still contagious, it is best not to have sex.
