Hpv???

Question

Does anybody have hpv? 
Is having hpv mean you're dirty? Having this is permanent? Is it damaging? Sigh; found out I have it. What's the symptoms? Thanks for answering :)

Answer

I tested positive for high risk HPV 2 years ago. The strain I had didn't cause warts but it could lead to cervical cancer down the road (it wasn't strains 16 or 18 which accounts for 70% of cervical cancers caused by HPV). My pap was normal thank goodness. Luckily 6 months later I tested negative for HPV and again 4 months after that which means my immune system has suppressed the virus. There is a chance it could come back and cause problems down the line, but I am clear for now and currently 23 weeks pregnant!

Answer

Do some research on it. I had an abnormal pap come back ten years ago... Signs pointed to HPV. I was told to boost my vitamin levels, vitamin c, b complex, folic acid, etc... And it went away on its own within a year. I get tested every year for it and it has not returned.

Answer

I was diagnosed in my early 20's (36 now). No big deal, I've never had sby symptoms,  no problems with my 1st pregnancy,  daughter is perfectly healthy.

Answer

Most everyone has hpv these days. It is most likely permanent, seems some people are able to fight off certain strains. You'll need to find out from your dr which strain(s) you have. Some cause cervical cancer some cause genital worts. If you have the one for cancer you will need to stay on top of your Pap smears so they can monitor any abnormal cell growth and stop it or remove it before it becomes cancer.

You are not dirty. You do need to speak with your dr to get the facts. You will need to inform every future sexual partner before you have sex so they can decide if they are willing to take the risk. I assume your partner didn't give you that luxury, but I feel it's important moving forward for your own conscience.

Answer

I have it and have no symptoms.  Came up in a pap but Dr said it was no big deal.  I just have to have a pap done every year.

Answer

HPV is permanent, but there are treatments to keep the warts away. Unfortunately you must always use a condom and Never participate in sexual activities during an outbreak. You must talk to your doctor before you get pregnant as the baby can be born with warts in its throat.

Answer

I've had two abnormal paps in 22 years. No signs, but was told to use condoms if I expected to sleep with different people since that can cause it to resurface

Answer

So I was recently diagnosed with it too but my dr said to come back and get tested after one year. I've never had sex with anyone other than my fiancé?!?! And I've literally never ever seen warts or anything... neither has he. Help?!

Answer

I was diagnosed at 20 and it was bad  You never know who your SO is with. I learned the hard way. I had half of my cervix removed and still had a second child😢😂... yes a lot of emotions... keep up with your checks every year....
