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

Heyyy I just came from the doctor an he told me I have a high risk of hpv ..... Im kinds lost can u inform me n let me know more of wat I have to do n steps I have to take...

you don't actually have to have intercourse to get it! It can be transmitted many ways not just by penetration. I have a friend who was diagnosed with cervical cancer at a very young age while she was still a virgan so please don't blame yourself or your partner and you should still be very proud that you saved yourself for that someone special sometimes these things just can't be avoided no matter how hard you try

You are actually wrong! so take your own advice and dont comment on what you dont know! MY doctor told me the same thing as Stace. and No it wont go away, it is in your body FOREVER. It may not cause any additional problems in the future but it could again. I saw an oncologist and he said that being diagnosed with HPV and if it is such high risk and causing precancer which will lead to cancer if not treated, means you may go through this again. It does suck that there is no screening for HPV in men.
Stace, just keep following up with your doctor and talk to your doctor about all your concerns. That way your head does not get filled with BS from ignorant people such as this!

Seriously, NONE of you know what you are talking about. There are lots of strands of the HPV virus. Some (the low risk kind that do not cause cancer) cause genital warts. Others go away on their own. The high risk kind changes your healthy normal cells into Pre-cancerous cells and can eventually turn into cervical cancer if not treated. Depending on the level of CIN you have the dr will either do a LEEP, Cone biopsy or freezing off the lesions.  I was diagnosed with CIN3 and had a LEEP.

My boyfriend infected me with high-risk cancerous hpv. I then had the leep surgery done. I had only been infected for 5 months and my gyn told me that before my leep I was "one step away from full-blown cancer". Nothing in my life has ever made me so scared. Because of the surgery I am no longer infected, but ofcourse my boyfriend still is. I am extremely scared of him giving it to me again. Is it possible to catch the same type of hpv again?

I'm getting the peep procedure done and like you my now exboyfriend gave it to me. My doctor explained to me that you can get it again and that women need to be more aware and informed about this. As for your boyfriend I hope you informed him of what's going on and if I were you and you decide to stay with him just make sure you protect yourself when you with him. Your life is more important than being unprotected just because it feels better to them and then later your the one that has to pay the consiquences. Just a word of thought! T/c

Stace, i think you might some common misconceptions. HRHPV can lead to cervical cancer,with hpv 16 and 18 types being the most prevalent. however cervical cancer like any other cancer takes YEARs to progress. For your doctor to tell you that you was one step away from full blown cancer, he/she was wrong. Regardless of you immune system this sort of cancer takes years to show signs, if you have only been infected for 5 months the literature says there is no way you can have cancer. One step away from full blow cancer would be Carcinoma-in Situ, at this point the virus has infected the immature cells of your endocervix and has caused them to act abnormally. When this occurs it is suggested that you get  surgery to remove as much of the endocervix as possible and also go thru chemotherapy. the loop/leep procedure allows for the gynecologist along with a pathologist to the see the extent of any cervical dysplasia(abnormality) you might have. To your original question, HPV is a virus and you will never be able to get rid of it. After the surgery you werent cured, if they did an hpv test again and it came up negative it just means the virus levels in your body was not detectable but not completely gone. I saw this forum kinda of late, i hope everything is going well.

Hi, could you please e-mail me? I'm having questions and really don't want to ask this way online..

Men can test positive for HPV just for the record. But i do agree with you on your views. Ignorant people have no right posting when they are just scaring people and do not have the facts.

I read your post and am curios to know: you said you do not have herpes outbreak anymore, is this because you have been and is currently taking prescribed medication such as valtrex etc? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks.

wow. u should follow your own advice. my wife and i somehow got hpv. she underwent the leep. we are still together have unprotected sex and she doesnt keep getting it over again. break up with him pff. u dont need to break up with him. stop being a fuk wit and stop scaring people. but most of all if you dont know what your talking about st fu and gtfo u sob.

Hey.. today i just found out i have high risk hpv.. I'm so scared its not even funny.. iv been with the same guy for over a year and i had a pap done last may and everything was fine.. so from then till now i have hpv.. I'm scared to tell him cuz he's gonna accuse me of sleeping around when I KNOW i haven't been.. i love this guy and were trying to make it work but once i tell him he's gonnaa freak out... iv never had warts and idt i will get them. i don't wanna live with this the rest of my life i wanna have a normal happy relationship but I'm not gonna be able to have that when i have hpv... iv never had problems like this before and I'm praying to god it goes away but from what iv read it never will... I'm 21 years old i can't handle this stress... idk what to do.. i feel like its the end of the world.. and i don't want it to spread to anyone if i ever move on from him... please tell me there's something i can do.. I'm just hoping the tests were wrong.. :(

Heads-up....  Don't shoot the messenger.....  Here's the low-down.......  I was born with multiple strains of "high risk" HPV.  Presently, I'm going to school to be an RN and I'm 34 years old and had my first surgery for CIN-3 20 years ago before I lost my virginity. Now it's back and worse than ever. It is NOT always transferred by sex, and sex alone.  If you're mother has it and she's delivers vaginally, the infant will have the HPV in their larynx and possibly their lungs. Now, the HPV strain for genital warts is a "low risk" version.  There are over 400 different strains and most are low risk (LR) = non-cancer causing.  However, there are 13 strains that are high risk (HR) - which are all carcinogenic = cancer causing....  There could be more, and more RESEARCH is NEEDED desperately to address. Each HR strain causes a different form of cancer - lung, esophogeal, anal, vaginal, cervical, head & neck, prostate, breast, etc. The HPV test out there only tests for the 13 HR versions but does not differentiate between the strains.  My Dr. told me yesterday that the government did away with the test that could tell a person which strain(s) they carry about 10-15 years ago.  Next, condoms DO NOT PREVENT the spread of HPV.  It's a skin-to-skin contact, similar to HIV.  Once you have the virus, you're stuck with it for life.  There's no meds you can take and nothing you can do, other than LIVE with it and pray to God that it lies dormant forever.  The LEEP, crytotherapy and other procedures are just treatments to eliminate the abnormal cells and put the HPV-HR in dormancy most of the time.  Unfortunately, HPV-HR will resurface at some point in time.  The HPV-HR types can and will lie dormant and then flare up with high stress, some resulting in clear or puss-y blisters from head to toe.  Additionally, you can test positive for HPV-HR and have a "normal" PAP.  I've been baffling doctors for 34 years.  Even with a "normal" PAP - it DOES NOT mean you don't have CIN-1, CIN-2, CIN-3 or full blown cancer.  Only a colposcopy (biopsies) can determine which stage.  OB/GYN's can perform a vinegar analysis with a cotton swab on the vaginal areas to see if there are any abnormal cells that turn white after the application.  Gardasil and other vaccines are NOT 100% effective and DO NOT prevent ALL types. Those vaccines are claimed to protect, however they only address a handful of the HR strains and the MEDIA will not tell you that... Frankly speaking - the vaccines are a complete WASTE of MONEY!  It's the pharm-companies trying to brainwash and scare people for $$ in their pocket.  If you don't want HPV - go 100% abstinent.  Otherwise, you're playing Russian roulette with your body.  Or, in my case (being born this way), all I can do is pray and be thankful to be alive.  Lastly, if you have HPV and are pregnant - DO NOT give birth vaginally.  Elect for a C-SECTION and hope the virus isn't passed to your unborn child.  Hope this info helps.  Praying for all of you out there that are carriers and that God "fixes" this HUGE mess the entire population is facing.  Much love.. :-)

"Sorry! HPV never go away, but it stays sleeping for years. If you had HPV, you will always have the virus, and you can infect other people who do not has it. It is recommended to not have sex with other people because they might get infected as well. The HPV can come back again; therefor, you need to have pap smear every 4 to 6 months. It is very common HPV IN THE USA, but it is a disease that will never go away and if you have warts treat them as well. Tell your partners that you have HPV before having sex with them and inform them what it is. No every body knows what exactly HPV is specially young people."

Hey kjc123 do not be afraid! I know how you feel! I used to think like that and I was 19 years when i realized i have it. If you are sure that you have not been with other partner and just your boyfriend, talk to him and if he loves you, he will believe you! let me just tell you that if you have a sexual partner before you start with him, and then met him for a year with no symptoms it can happen that maybe your partner before him gave you hpv and hpv can be presented after years or months. also make sure that you boyfriend did not cheat on you and maybe he gave it to you or his partner before you! go to the doctor again with a diferent doctor and make another pap test. the low risk is genital warts that can go away on its own but it is better if the doctor takes care of it. i did not wanted to live my life like this, but the virus can sleep for a long time maybe in some cases forever and you will feel the same again like me! im marry and we are still taking care of that with doctors. don give up and talk to him ! he already has it to and he can transmit it to more clean people. that does not mean we are dirty just diferent.

i know the posts were made a while ago, but the above post triggered me to respond. if the doctor determines u have hpv, you have it for life. you cannot pass it back and forth to your partner, but if you are w someone else that does not have it, you can pass it to them. the leep procedure gets rid of the abnormal cells, not the hpv. its really sad when ppl have no clue about something they feel they have a right to preach about it. hpv is common, but if your immune system is good, you eat right and stay healthy, you have a greater chance of it lying low and having normal pap smears and no abnormal cells. So basically, take care of yourself.
