It happens to the best of us-
I was almost 20 years old when I had a brief sexual encounter with this one man. I had just gotten out of a serious relationship and was sort of bouncing back from it. Well nothing happened immediately to me.I never noticed anything unusual until about 2 months later.But by that time I was venturing into a great new relationship with a wonderful man. Then I noticed it. I knew it wasn't from my new boyfriend but then again....Well about a month later I was positive with HPV. I got Aldara cream which was sheer fire to me but it worked so I was happy. Then I noticed places on my new boyfriend. Pure fear flew through my heart. I blamed myself and told him what he probably was afflicted with. It was tough but he dealt with it. We are still together-3 years later-but he never has thought of it as a serious health issue. But now I am really scared because I think I have them in my throat. When I initially got diagnosed I showed the nurse the back of my tongue which had raised or inflamed looking taste buds. She blew it off asking if I ate something spicy the night before-which I had. So she said I shouldn't worry about it. But 3 years later the bumps are there still and I think they have spread down my throat. I'm really scared because I dont want cancer and I dont want to pass this disease to my potential future child. I dont know how to ask a doctor, who to ask or what procedures they will do to me. I do know though, that my female doctor is looking out for me with the whole cervical cancer thing. That's the only positive thing I know. 75% of the population of the US are carriers but not all are physically noticeable. Basically, I think that this is the hardest thing I've had to deal with because my family doesn't and won't know about this awful mistake I have made and how bad I feel. I can't do this to them. But I'm coping and keeping myself up to date with new information.Comments:
