A Florida woman learned her husband of 30 years had been unfaithful and that he had transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) to her. She was soon diagnosed with cancers of the vulva, cervix and anus, which are linked to HPV infection. The case highlights that HPV can be transmitted within long-term relationships and underscores the importance of vaccination, regular screening and open communication about sexual health. It both contrasts with research suggesting marriage can be protective and echoes other personal stories of unexpected cancer diagnoses.
