[|Human|] My partner was told that he has a condyloma and I just had my pap smear done and everything came back negative. Does this mean that my partner does not have HPV? Or does it mean that I just havent caught it yet. If he is a carrier of it, what do I do now?
[|AI|]  Hello only mentioned that your partner is having condyloid i.e. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections. You just got a pap smear, and it is negative. Now please read this, and you will get answer of your question. The clinical manifestations of HPV infection depend on the locations of the lesions & the type of virus. Now note down this very carefully. The incubation period is usually 3-4 months but can be as long as two (2) years (you didn't mention in the query since, how long you are in contact with your partner because your infection depend on the duration of the time). Now answer of 2nd question. A qua Chat Doctor. However, there is further detail study also present but due to limitation I recommend you please consider INCUBATION period and vaccines. For your partner get in anal scrapings show cytology evidence of HPV infection. Detection of HPV nucleic acid is the most specific and sensitive method of detection of HPV for your partner. Hope this information will be useful for you. Good luck.
