Maya - HPV for 18 months. With Connor for 6 months.

Worried about HPV. Worried about Connor.

Worried about future pregnancies

80% of HPV infections will clear on their own. You can potentially speed up the process by helping your immune system fight the virus (boosting natural killer cells, inducing programmed cell death).

Connor isn’t as susceptible to precancerous changes due to HPV. But he should know and be aware that he may carry HPV and spread it to other women. He can do the same thing to support his immune system. And condoms are the single best (not perfect) way to prevent the actual spread of HPV by contact. Vaccinations are also key to prevention.

Your fertility is NOT affected by HPV infection. Your pregnancy is not likely to be affected either when only mild changes to your cervix have occurred.
