Can people with HPV have children?

739 views

I’m not talking about infertility, just the fact that you need to stop using protection to have them.

When a person has HPV and not the other, and they want a child, do they do it anyways with the risk of infecting the other person? Is there a treatment? Or they need to use IVF?

I really don’t understand how it works. I also hear that you can test negative and suddenly have a positive result, and that the virus can get “deactivated” and you can have it without spreading it.

If you’re worried about HPV, get vaccinated for it, then go ahead and have kids. HPV is mostly harmless and the vaccine tends to prevent the rare complication of cancer.

I had HPV at a previous pap smear. I was so scared but they were very clear that it’s not classed as an STI even though it kind of is one, because it is so common, usually clears itself up and is often harmless.

If you’re diagnosed with HPV at a pap smear u should get your next one done in a year rather than the usual 5 or so, just in case. If you don’t keep an eye on it, there is some danger of it progressing into something more serious. But it’s not a cancer sentence, shouldn’t be treated like an STI and won’t harm a baby.

If you’re pregnant and have genital herpes, you should speak to health providers early to prevent transmission to the baby at birth, but that is a separate and controllable issue

People are saying teens and children should get the HPV vaccine but the vaccine is available in the US for anyone up to age 45. If you’re 45 or under, I would recommend that you and your partner get it.

What you are asking is like asking “how do people kiss without catching each other’s cold”. The answer is, they don’t, they just catch each other’s colds.

So the answer here is, people just catch HPV and life is fine.
