How To Be Sexually Active With A Potentially Infected Partner?
I am a 22 year old woman and I just became romantically involved with a 21 year old man that may have contracted HPV from a past sexual partner. I have some questions about the infection, how to deal with it, and how to be responsibly sexually active with a potentially infected partner.

hello madam,
firstly get confirmed as to whether he is really infected by performing many tests.
if in case he has a disease and you are still interested in him, then use barrier method (condom by him) for protection before sex
