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)

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. Crying or Very sad

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! Idea
