I am a 23 yr old male. I have had 4 partners in my life. Lots to some few to others. I just found out I have HPV three months ago. I had a bump and the doctor told me it was "just a wart many people have them, like 70% of sexually active people do your partner a favor and wear a condom!" I was sooooo pissed because he could be the same doctor that said that to the girl I was with. I wore a condom and look at me! Then I went back to have a few more frozen off and a different doctor told me he was 99% sure that the bumps I had were not HPV and to not worry about them. After that I met a wonderfull girl who I think could be the one. I go back after about three week and tell the second doctor that I met a Girl and the 1% has been weighing on me. I wanted a Bioptic done on one of the bumps to see if it was or wasn't. He tried to talk me out of it saying it was a lot of pain for nothing because he was sure they weren't HPV. Well two weeks later I get the call, guess what it is HPV. Now for the last two months I have been living the best days of my life with the girl of my dream only to have it all ripped away. I told her the next day that is was over two days later she asked why and I told her. She was the most supportive and kindest person in the world. We saw eachother for a week or two more before it was too much for me. I just felt that I was being selfish and that she was wasting her time. We were apart for about two weeks before we kissed again (thus crossing the just friend rule). It has been about three or four months since I found out (the first time) I had HPV, I don't hate myself now (at least not as much.) I still don't know what is going on with my girl or how long it will last but when I'm with her everything is O.K. I wonder if God was punishing or testing me with HPV and the girl of my dreams all at once. I still don't know if I'll ever have a wife or kids (the two things have have always wanted.) I do know that I want to see what tomorrow hold thought. I really felt better after watching "Castaway!" It's dorky but when Tom Hanks says that like that he had every thing torn away and then again like that everything changed again it gave me hope. Even if life won't be the same I am still the same person, a good person that deserves to be happy! E-mail Rex8656@hotmail.com

Dude .. you're a good man. You were very responsible, but you need to chase this girl down. It is possibile to have a relationship and wait until you are married to have sex. If she is the one, then she is worth it .. no?

Dude, HPV can be cleared by your own immune system. Just because There isn't a medication that can eradicate the virus don't freak out. Concentrate on keeping your self healthy and the virus won't return. Go get the girl man!

Keep things in perspective. There isn't a cure for the common cold. Just becaue there isn't a cure doesn't mean that you're immune system can develop immunity to it. Chill out, relax and don't beat up on your self.

Aaron, again, your post is inspiring and positive. Thanks. And to the original poster I had the same deal with my doctor. What a f**ckin moron. All I heard was don't worry about this or that and it's not this and it's not that. I knew it was HPV from the start but I wasted time in seeking her "expert" advice only to end up doing the research myself and requested Aldara instead of the other BS treatments.
