So yes; after all the "sex-ed" and all the lectures, I had no idea about how popular, or how easy it was to contract this annoying and embarassing disease. Im a 20 yr old female, a serious boyfriend of 7, yes 7 years, and i had to go cheat on him, and bring this thing back to him. Too bad for me that i only found out that 80% of all sexually active people have this disease, and that you dont need to have an outbreak to spread it only after i got hpv. I was the girl that always did oral to "inspect" my partner before slapping on a condom. Let alone that this horrible disease is able to be spread while wearing a condom. I wish my teachers/friends/doctors would have let me know that "safe-sex" is not a real term. So unless everyone knows everyone else that everyone has had sex with, we're all just gonna keep spreading genital warts to all sexually active people. Now, i have told all of my friends, and they are scared and disgusted that we had all been so ignorant of the subject. And I have gone through many gyno appts. to get rid of them. But i guess it was useless to even go because, girls arent supposed to shave down there when they have hpv, nor smoke and etc. Well, I had to shave, and I smoke a pack a day. I started taking all vitamins, eating better, and some exercise. But after all that crap, the best thing, and the thing that made everything go away... was stress relief. I started yoga again, talking to my bf about all of it, talking to my mother, and just relaxing. My 2 warts that wouldnt budge for months, disapeared totally. So if u cant stop your smoking, and your're not going to change your lifestyle, there could still be hope. Relax, stop having sex for a while and go have fun.

i agree totally. unfortunately it isnt that easy. i try not to stress, i no longer stress about the warts, i stress about just LIFE, money, school, work.. etc... they should have a wart free resort for us to go to for a month to get rid of them...i think that would do the trick for me!

Stop smoking moron! The warts are the least of your problems. Smoking will cause all kinds of complications. I know it's tough but shit, at least cut down to a few smokes a day.

Sorry
What bothers me is : every time I tell anyone they immediately think I have genital warts.That is what sex-ed teaches! So you look for the warts ,that never come and think you don't have it! So 2 years into a monogamous relationship I have an abnormal pap smear and they found it on my cervix. What's even scarier is the fact that the nurse said my dysplasia was so minuscule that she had to use a special device to see it!

I am in complete agreement with you guys! I am so shocked at how prevalent this disease is, but how rarely you hear it discussed. Everyone wants to talk about HIV, but that is a pretty rare disease in comparison to this! I am also disgusted that no one took the time to tell me about this before I was infected. I guess we can all learn from this and make sure our friends and family have the right info!
