[|Human|] I was told that HPV is dramatically rising in seniors and that men are not easy to test for HPV and that even so, they could test positive or negative and still be infected? Is that true? What are the risks for single seniors who are wanting to date in their senior years and be sexually active? For men? For women? What do we have to watch out for? I am a widow, with no history of HPV and don t want to risk my health. But i want to marry again and worry about the health of a man, who cannot be tested, to ensure his health status won t risk mine.
[|AI|]  HPV is a common skin infection transmitted through sex and is an STD. The older population is still at risk for contracting HPV but the number of seniors with HPV is much lower than the general younger population. To protect yourself from contracting HPV I would recommend the use of condoms. Condoms are the only safe prevention to stop the spread and contraction of HPV. I hope this answered your question.
