Condoms: You may use condoms to protect your partner. However, it may be helpful for him to be tested. If he is positive, you can use condoms and hope you both clear the virus.

Use condoms: These are my recommendations 1. use condoms, for contraception of choice. 2. Have a healthy life style, and avoid risk factors like smoking, alcohol, etc 3. Let your partner know , and ask him to be tested 4. have regular pap smears, and GYN exams, and make sure you have had screening for all other associated communicable disease regardless Chances are high that everything will clear by itself.
