How does testing HPV positive make women feel about sex and relationships?
By rmjlkfb, on 21 August 2019
A previous blog described how a new way of looking at cervical screening samples called primary HPV testing is being introduced into the NHS Cervical Screening Programme. In this post, we will describe the results from our recently published review which looked at whether testing HPV positive has an impact on how women feel about sex and relationships.
Why might testing HPV positive have an impact on sex and relationships?
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common sexually transmitted infection (STI). It’s so common that most men and women will be infected with HPV at some point in their life, often without them knowing. Because of the sexually transmitted nature of HPV and with the introduction of HPV primary testing in England, we wanted to find out whether testing HPV positive could have an impact on sex and relationships. We reviewed all previous research that has explored the impact of an HPV positive result on sex and relationships among women.
What did we find?
There were 12 quantitative studies, which used surveys to collect data on a range of different outcomes such as sexual satisfaction, frequency of sex, interest in sex and feelings about partners and relationships. The results from these studies were very mixed with some studies suggesting that testing HPV positive did have an impact on sex and relationships and others suggesting that it didn’t.
Three main themes emerged from the 13 qualitative studies, which mainly used interviews to collect data:
- Source of HPV infection – women were concerned about where the infection came from and whether it came from a current or previous partner. Some expressed concerns that their partner had been unfaithful and wondered whether that was how they had acquired HPV.
- Transmission of HPV – concerns about passing on HPV to a partner were common. Some women were also worried about infecting their partner and their partner re-infecting them, not allowing the virus to be cleared and increasing the risk of cervical cancer.
- Impact of HPV on sex and relationships – Some women reported a reduced interest in and frequency of sex following HPV. HPV had a negative impact on some women’s sexual self-image. The risks associated with oral sex were mentioned by a few women who were concerned about passing HPV on to their partners in this way.
What do our findings mean?
It is possible that testing HPV positive may have an impact on sex and relationships for some women, however the extent of this is unclear. As none of the studies included in the review were in the context of primary HPV testing, this work highlights the need for further research in this context. As primary HPV testing is introduced more widely, it is important to understand the impact of an HPV positive result on sex and relationships to ensure that this does not cause unnecessary concern for women.

Hello everyone my name is Daniel . I suffered from HIV virus for over 5 years. I resulted to numerous treatments but this life threatening disease won’t go. I got so confused about life and health challenges. I lost so much money finding treatment for this virus. I was going through the Facebook when I saw some testimonies on how Dr Omosun uses herbal medicine to help people suffering from HIV so I contacted him and explained to him how I have been suffering from the disease. He advised me to order for the herbal medicine which I did. I received the herbal medicine through DHL after 3 days. I started the herbal treatment and after weeks of using the herbal medicine I began to experience positive changes in my system. I decided to go for a test and result came back negative… I’m so happy to be free and this from HIV virus. You can also contact him on his email:

Yes, of course, the article gives a strong reason to think about health, but as far as I know, not all strains of the virus are dangerous, but only a few of them. Of course, you should be more careful in choosing partners and be sure to protect yourself. By the way, just now after reading an interesting article, I’m thinking about dating someone from another country. These tips really reveal many of the features of such online dating, and I also liked the dating site.

I got genital herpes from my ex boyfriend, I didn’t notice any symptoms or outbreak while with him. My family doctor told me that the virus was in my body four years ago, and it has affected my life negatively. I told my new boyfriend whom I trusted about it and I have never had a bad reaction towards it but he was also seeking an alternative solution on my behalf. People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation. Herpes has long term effects on health. The stigma attached to this virus by ignorant people is ridiculous. Most people have herpes in different forms. I would like to advise people on how i got rid of my herpes.i saw a comment posted by Kim on the internet, she got rid of her herpes with the help of dr Irene . I was so happy when I saw that post. I collected Dr Irene contact information and I emailed him, he responded to my email after two hours. I explained my health to him and he told me not to worry that he is going to help me. I ordered his product which he forwarded and I got the herbal medicine package. and i used it as i was told for the said period of time, this was how i got rid of the virus! no more virus, no more fear. If you have hsv or someone close to you kindly contact dr Irene .
