Question Sex After Leep...husband Has The Hpv

Ok, I am so bummed today. The nurse called and the result of the pap smear is positive for high-risk HPV. The biopsy came as CIN-1. I am going to have to do a LEEP. The problem is that I am sure I will be exposed to this virus agains since I probably acquired from my husband (we started dating 11 months ago). The doctor believes it's from hubby because his previous girlfriend had to remove her abnormal cells also. I don't know if it was the same strain of HPV, but there is a high chance since he she was the last girlfriend before me.
My question is: If I remove these cells with a LEEP will I be exposed again to the same virus when I have sex with him? Would I acquire immunity since I already have it, or would I be exposed again and again? Thanks,

Hope

P.S. I guess I am double lucky now since I got herpes last year and not this other bomb is dropping

Re: Sex After Leep...husband Has The Hpv

I had a scare once with abnormal bleeding and talked to my doc about hpv and cervical cancer. From what I understand you can't get the same strain twice. So once you get this taken care of you should be okay. My pap was okay but my husband's ex had cervical cancer so I am really up on getting my paps. Also you could call the std hotline, they were really helpful when I was stressing about this topic. Or just ask your doc!Good luck!

The great thing about HPV is that you can't "reinfect" yourself. Once you have that specific strain, that's it. Unfortunately, the LEEP does not cure you (I've had 2 already). It only removes the infected cells so that new ones can grow.

Hi KimRick,


This is very alarming! What was the stage of your dysplasia when you did your first and second LEEP?

So basically we cannot get infected but we can be reexposed to the virus throug sex, right?
