Dr. Jones:
So I would say at this time, according to CDC it's up to the woman if she would like to contact her last partner. The problem is gonorrhea and chlamydia - you know who the partner came from, HPV - you have no idea of knowing.
So if you, for example, if you are a 30-year-old woman and you began having intercourse at 15, 16, that could have been when you acquired HPV. It might not have been in your 20s or your 30s that you acquired it.
So, you would have to backtrack to all of your partners and let them know. There’s no test to tell you where the HPV came from.
