Life in this age: Her strain is likely not the one that produces warts. There are 2 strains most known for the potential of producing cancer and 2 strains known for producing warts. While you both may share whatever strain may be present, the issues involved differ. There are also other causes of cervical dysplasia.

Hpv: You should check it with you doctor as hpv is transmitted through intercourses.

Checked as needed...: Being exposed to HPV doesn't mean contracting it and contracting it doesn't mean developing it, reflecting your personal unique two lines of defense: First, natural barriers-skin and mucosa; second, humoral immune ability if the first line is broken. So, just watch, wait, and see if a bump may grow in size or / & change in shape. If yes in either way, have doctor take a look so to decide.
