I know how you feel.  I got diagnosed last summer.  I was terrified of telling my boyfriend.  I thought he was going to leave me, I was sure of it.  He was just the opposite.  He was so understanding.  The day I told him he took the day off to be with me to comfort me.  We did go through some rough times dealing with it later.  Most of hpv heals itself within one to two years.  You will always have the virus, it will just be "hidden".  The best advice I can give you is not to smoke, smoking increases the risk of it not going away.  I felt dirty for the longest time, but this is SO common.  Most people have it, they just don't know it beause the virus hasn't shown itself in any way.  I have not had any problems with mine (no warts etc).  It is very important to get a pap every 6 mos to make sure it is not escalating into something more serious.  I hope this helps.  I know it is tough telling your fiance.  Hopefully it will bring you closer together.

fisrt of all u have to see that he has an active wart or not if he has he can go to the dermatologist and then they can fizing that for him .....when there is no wart in his genitalia area the risk of transmited to u woill be decrease so much...of course HPV as a virus has no treatment completly and i dunno why u are so scared of that ...i know there is some type of HPV has related to servix cancer or methaplasy of it but they are not too much type (16,18,31,33,35 )and others are fine type....if he use condoms then the risk for transmited will be 0 and then no need to be worry even if u have un protected sex with him and he has no active wart the risk of transmited will be too low...then i advice u to both go to a dermatologist or even ur gynecologist and start ur relationship...ab vaccine u said cuz most of the virus change their version then maybe it wont be useful so much....

Human papiloma virus is life long.... and once it gets in you will never come out. If the person has blisters/scars that are shedding viruses, contact with such gives you over 90% chance of getting it. Be safe! be wise! learn to say no even if you are horny. Use protection and trust your instincts

HPV stands for human paploma virus.  This is one of the reasons that a gyne does a yearly pap to check for this.  This virus can lay dormant in the system undetected for years, and make you infertile if left untreated.  This is an STD where most men do not show symptoms, but transmit it to the women.  This is the cause of cervicle cancer.  I saw a show a while ago that said that if every woman gets the HPV vaccine, that this could maybe one day eradicate cervical cancer.  They are trying to make it where the vaccine is a requirement for females with all other vaccinations that a child must receive before going to school.  The vaccination is given in three doses, and is recommended for females under the age of twenty-six.

It is very common.  HPV is a sexually transmitted disease.  You get it from having unprotected sex with someone who has it.  Some forms of HPV cause cervical cancer.  There's a vaccine for HPV that should be coming soon, however it's only good for those who don't already have HPV.

You can never get rid of genital warts(HPV)Once you get the virus you have it forever. You can get them surgically removed(lasered off)but you will always have the virus.

No relax.  Celluar changes happen as a result of the human papilloma virus (HPV)  the same family of viruses that cause common warts, like on your hand.  Certain strains of HPV can cause cervical cancer - this is why you get PAP smears.  Others can cause minor celluar changes, still others cause no apparent symptoms at all.  Regardless even in the worst case it is easy to address this problem by getting a colposcopy (a small section of cells is taken from your cervix curing the problem) as long as you follow up as your doctor is directing you.\n\nYour ovary may be ovulating or it may be something entirely unrelated to your reproductive parts.  Nonetheless your physician will probably want to get a follow up PAP in a few months.  If that is normal you are good to go until next year.

There are over 30 kinds of HPV. I have read even up to 100. Most kinds don't do anything or show any symptoms, that's why is it so easily spread from person to person. After all it is the number one STD. \n\nSince you both have the virus it doesn't matter if you have unprotected sex. It is a virus and will stay with you the rest of your life. It's not like you are going to reinfect each other or make it worse. There currently is no cure for HPV right now. \n\nYou need to be going to your OBGYN at least once a year though, because HPV can cause cervical cancer which kills 300,000 women a year! It can also cause genital warts, which although annoying, are treatable. Women usually don't find out they have HPV until they get an abnormal pap smear come back, or they develop genital warts. Both can be treated. Men usually find out they have it by developing genital warts, which can also be treated.\n\nI have had HPV for about 5 years now. I got cervical cancer about a year after I got it, and just six months ago I got genital warts. It can take a while to show any signs or symptoms.

HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can cause warts, an invisible infection only found on pap smear, or, in the worst case scenario, it can cause cervical cancer.  It is important for a woman to have pap smears every year and to keep the number of sexual partners to a minimum to reduce the risk of getting a dangerous strain of the virus.  Men obviously contract the virus too, but they can not be easily diagnosed if they do not have visible warts.  Condoms can reduce transmission, but are not perfect because the virus infects nearby skin too, not just the penus and vagina.

i know exactly how you feel girl..the guy that i lost my virginity to actually maybe the guy that gave me hpv it looks as if after i had sex with him that he had clyamidha..and tried to say that i was the one that gave it to him ..which i know is impossible being as he is the first guy i was ever with..i then went and had myself checked for all stds and at that time i had contracted nothing...now i am 31yrs old and always and i do mean always practice safe sex i was recently diagnosed with hpv a year ago due to a abnormal pap smear i evidently do not have the strain that produces genital warts..which im grateful for but it still is such a slap in the face to know that youve always practiced safe sex and that now i have hpv...keep your chin up and i hope that your outbreak clears up soon 8)

it's probably a yeast infection but you did the right thing by going to ur dr. std's can cause serious problem the hpv virus lead to dysplasia of the cervix(cancer) and the only true method to get rid of the cancer is by a complete hystorectomy. there's herpes(can't get rid of it), claymidia, gonorreha, syphlis there's a lot of diseases that cause yellow discharge, soreness and tenderness if it is std and is treated sooner, they may be able to cure it if it's curable, or treat it so it's not causing u pain

Yeah it's possible.   HPV is very common and it's also the main cause of cervical cancer.  However, nothing is for sure until they get the whole pathology report back.

I've had so many various treatments over 10 years, the treatment will depend on the severity of the dysplasia or CIN. It doesn't mean you will get cancer, and it can take up to 20 years for that to develop. they usually do the minimum treatment necessary, if its mild or CIN 1 they may just monitor you as this can reverse its self. Ask if you can be tested for HPV(wart virus) as that is linked to pre cancerous conditions and whether they are likely to turn cancerous. A load of studies in the UK have been looking at this and a vaccine against HPV is being developed. check out all the treatments available too as it is invasive and you need to be happy with what they do. good luck

HPV, and MOST people dont know they have it. You can tell when you do, cause theres a SLIGHTLY noticable dark staining at the OUTSIDE corner of your eyes on your skin itself not the eye itself. It generally goes away on its own, so most never realize they have been exposed.

I just went through a year and a half of HPV and first off...your are fine. And some of these answers are simply NOT CORRECT.  \n\nBH and cptkmwallman - If the test came back "high risk" then YES, it IS HPV..."High risk" is a form of HPV...its the kind that does not cause genital warts, but has a higher risk of causing cancer, it has nothing to do with how much sex you have had.\n\n MISS MARY - HPV is not caused by "genital warts" genital warts are a form of "low risk HPV".  \n\nHigh Risk HPV - the most common form of HPV.  DOES NOT cause genital warts.  It means that your pap detected abnormal cells in your vagina (cervix).  This is not the end of the world...something like 80% of women have this type of HPV.  It will go away on its own, but if you dont take frequent pap tests (every 6 months) it could develop into cancer.  Sometimes with high risk HPV, the abnormal cells are clustered together and a doctor can actually remove them using a number of procedures.  I only had a few and after 3 paps, my test came back normal.\n\nLow-risk HPV - This is the type of HPV that CAUSES genital warts.  This is less common and again, the doctors have a number of ways to remove warts and again, it will go away on its own.\n\nOnce you have had HPV, you will always have it in your system, but most likely you will not experience another problem.  \n\nDont worry or feel bad like you have a horrible STD...remember, almost everywoman will experience some form of HPV in her life...it is just that common.  Just concern yourself with preventing cervical cancer by taking frequent paps and you should recieve a normal one within 2 years most likely.\n\nI hope this answers your question...I sure did my studying and asking after my first abnormal pap.\n\nAND GOOD LORD PEOPLE>>>HIGH RISK DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HOW MANY SEXUAL PARTNERS YOU HAVE HAD< YOU COULD HAVE HAD 1 PARTNER AND STILL HAVE HIGH RISK HPV.

I'm not sure on what your actual question is.  Yes, there are over 100 strains of HPV.  Some cause genital warts, some cause cervical dysplasia which can lead to cervical cancer, and many are common and harmless.  If you've been diagnosed with HPV it is probably because you either have genital warts or you've had an abnormal Pap smear.  Yes, you should ask your doctor for more information.

My doctor told me that HPV can take years and years to show up as something abnormal on a pap smear. I know for some people they can have positive results right away but I guess for the majority of women who don't have other symptoms is can take years to show up. He actually said it could sometimes take 10-15 years to show up as abnormal cells.\n\nThere is a DNA test they can do at the same time as the pap that can tell you if you have HPV (I don't think it specifies as per the particular strain you have). I have read about this test but my doctor hasn't heard of it (Canada).\n\nSo I guess many would be quick to tell you your boyfried cheated. I am not saying he didn't, cause let's face it- it happens. But yes, it is possible for you to have had HPV from a previous relationship (or he is a carrier of it with no symptoms from a previous relationship). It's also possible that having 2 children  put a strain on your body and it was no longer to keep the virus dormant. \n\nGood luck to you.
