Suggest Treatment For HPV 1 Virus

I had a Leep procedure done a year ago because my pap smears kept testing abnormal. I have since had a normal pap. However, I believe my boyfriend of 3 years has the HPV1 virus. Prior to being with him I never had an abnormal pap. I m wondering if my abnormal pap was a result of him giving me the virus. He continues to get cold sores on the outside of his mouth. They look like the images on google for HPV1 herpes virus. I want to ask him if he has it or knew that he had it, but that s a sensitive topic. My concern is I most likely have it now and does this mean he will keep giving the virus to me and I will have abnormal paps again? Will I have to keep getting the leep procedure down the road because he can keep giving it to me? Can my kids get it if they drink from our drinks and etc.?

Hi,

I am so sorry to hear about this abnormal pap smear that you have reported. Herpes has no relationship with abnormal pap smear. What causes abnormal pap smear is HPV(human papilloma virus) This causes warts and not cold sores. You may be concerned about the sores and herpes but this has no relationship with abnormal paps. Also, remember to take great care of yourself especially protection during intercourse.


I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
