boyfriend gave me high risk hpv, had leep surgery and is sca

it is so sad how many of you people claim to know what youre talking about, even those that have hpv. once u get hpv you always have it. even if you get cancer or warts removed they may come back. it is always contagious and it does stay with you forever. the kinds that cause cancer dont cause warts but once u get one strand of hpv, you can still be infected with other kinds. its just logical. even if you think you dont have hpv you should get tested and get a Gardasil vaccination asap!!! my advice-dont have sex with anyone until youve finished your gardasil shots!! then you will probably never have to deal with this. and after that, always use condoms!!!!!!always! its doing yourself and everyone else a favor! and dont have sex with guys who might be promiscuous because chances are hes carrying hpv, even if he never has warts

Strictly speaking, you're right. Once you've got a virus, you've got it. But my doctor told me that most of the time, with a healthy immune system, it does go away on its own after a year or two sometimes. And from my reading up on it, it seems like he's right. Some people's go away, some stay the same, and some get worse. But it is possible to get a PAP smear and test positive for HPV and then test negative again the next year...At least, that's what I understood from my doctor.

Unfortunately the HPV virus itself can NOT go away. The virus will FOREVER stay in your system. How do I know? I actually have it. Some of these people that are saying the virus can go away obviously do not have it and dont know the actual facts.

The virus will NEVER go away. BUT your symptoms can if u treat them. Im going in for surgery soon to cut out the cancer infected parts (last biospy results came back precancer)

HPV will never go away it is a STD virus, virus will never completly go away.And yes you chould get cancer from it or you chould get warts and the only way to remove the warts is a laser. I have HPV and i have done lots of studying about it so i know a couple of things. Also if you are your long term parntner have HPV it is ok to have sex but only with your parnter the same kind of HPV can not jump back and forth, once you have it you have it ,it will only go away by itself. Make sure every 6to12 months you get a pap test done by your doctor be safe stay faithful to your partner or you will get worst.

I got HPV last year and I went in for the LEEP surgery. It wasn't as painful as it was scary and very invasive. I also had the discharge that was not pretty and I got an antibiotic to clear it up. I went back to the doctor 3 months later and she said my PAP was normal. It's been 6 months and I went back to my new doctor and she called and told me my PAP was abnormal. I don't know what this means.... but if it is possible that I have the virus again I'm not sure I can handle the LEEP surgery again. Not to mention that if they remove or laser off too much of your cervix you are unlikely to have children because the cervix is too thin. Not only am I freaking out but I'm mad. That surgery not only cost quite a bit, but I just don't think I can keep going thru this again. Let me know if anyone has had something similar to this happen to them.

Endeavor to quell your sexual urges and wait for that one gentleman that loves you for who you are and not just out for a good time (why buy the cow if you can get free milk?). Yeah, it an ideal but it is doable and it will keep you abortion-free (guilt-free) and disease free as well as psychologically healthier. There are still good men out there... I found me one and that was 32 years ago.

Stay strong!

Hey everyone,
So this post seems to be all over the place, and misinformation kind of bothers me because hpv is probably one of the scariest things that has happened to me because there is SO much misinformation out there.
I'll give you facts first. Hpv is a virus, it NEVER leaves your blood stream. However IF you have condyloma, which is the warts that come with some strains of HPV, you can get rid of them. Once they are gone there is no guarantee they will never come back, it is reported they could come back with depressed immune system (HIV), elevated stress, or possibly during pregnancy. this is because the virus never leaves your blood stream, so during these bodily changes it may present again. Kind of like getting shingles after you have already had chicken pox. It is a virus so always in your blood and shingles may present later in life.

You CAN still sleep with the guy who gave you hpv. He has the SAME strain of HPV as you, and you can not keep getting that strain again. However, if you choose to have other partners you can get other strains of hpv. Please keep in mind there is no proof that condoms keep you from getting hpv and it is pretty much known that it does not prevent transfer. The information about 80% of people getting hpv is TRUE. however there are two different strands, and if you get the strand with condyloma, it is much more painful. Treatment options, freezing, burning with acid, in office surgery with local anasthesia (painful), laser vaporization which is surgery with general anasthesia, and leep.

i wish anyone who has hpv the best of luck. even though it doesn't seem like it now, you are lucky it's not something worse.. no cancer, no deadly diagnosis, just a really hard challenge in your life. Ive had 3 surgeries and am scheduled for my fourth (this is rare-- don't think you will be in the same boat). I'll be honest its not easy, but never blame yourself, no std especially hpv should be looked at as "your fault" or a bad thing, even if you are SO careful, but can still get it, so don't let anyone tell you differently.

Good day all,
Speaking from experience, self education, and numerous consultations, I must say that HPV is a virus and you will never rid yourself of it. Sorry! My doctor compared it with Chicken Pox. Once you've had it, you go through the motions, treat it, and the serious side effects don't come back.

However, there are 100's of strands of HPV and if you have been infected by one strand, you are more subseptable to contracting and not being able to fight off another strand. This means, if you, like I, have High Risk Strand 16 HPV and you have sex with someone who has Low Risk strand 8 HPV, it is more likely that the virus will over power my immune system. In some cases, people who are exposed to HPV fight the virus off and never show symptoms!

High Risk HPV is associated with CANCER. Low Risk HPV is associated with genital warts. You can get these warts in the vaginal, anal, and oral area of your body. You will have to have them lasered or frozen off. And they do come back! Luck you, you don't have Low Risk HPV. So to answer your question, after you have had the LEEP procedure, you can continue to have sex with your boyfriend. If you guys are not exposed to a different strand of HPV, you guys will be fine!

I hope that I have been helpful. I know when I found out that I was HPV positive with CIN III cells, I thought my life was over! But I am still here and happy to have overcome this mountain. Now, keep in mind people, HPV has not been fully researched and it not totally understood! So we learn as our doctor's learn!

someone mentioned that you should break up with your boyfriend blah blah blah blah blah


for everyones information it can lay dorment for up to 10 years...
you will never kno if the male has it.. unless you have it and sleep with that male....

and you will never kno who gave it too you.. unless you've only slept with one person..

so don't dump your boy friend .... do wat you want... you can be your own person.. and askin for advise over the net isn't a good idea either...
people lie and make shit up all the time.. you'd be BEST to go to your doctor... you can't trust the internet and wat people have to say...

go to a gynaecologist, family doctor, or a specialist....

I appreciate your thoughts. I however was a Good Girl and have only had sex with 1 man, my husband. I was just diagnosed with HPV/Genital Herpes. Apparently HPV can lay dormant in your system for over 10 years and is just now rearing it's ugly head. I am extremely distraught by this new diagnosis. For 30 years, I've been so proud that I saved my self for one man, and now I have a sexually transmitted disease. No one is safe. All the times I shared with people that I was so proud that I'd only had sex with one person, my husband... I am just so embarased, so ashamed, so dirty. 30 years I thought I was so pure, waiting until marriage, being only with one man, and now an STD. I'm done.

My boyfriend gave me the hpv that causes gential warts. They come and go and have been like this for about 2 years now. He got the warts aswell and i tryed to stess to him how serious it is, but recently i found he is having sex with other women and not telling them. Is there anything i can do to help these women?, so they dont have to suffer as much as i did. Also is there anything i can do to prove to him how serious HPV is?

Thank you
