A member asked:

My wife went to go get an hpv test because i can't but she came back with negative results saying she doesn't have it. does that mean i don't have it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: HPV has both active and inactive phases. You could have acquired HPV at some point in the past, and no longer actively shed virus to the point she gets infected. The only way to know if you were ever infected is to test you.
