well if the person loves you enough and
is willing to make that risk then
fine. also remember that you tend to no
longer be contagious after a year
because your body may have at that
point driven out the virus. If it
worries both you and your partner
enough wait for some time. focus on
your health as well as those other
things. tell yourself i can fight this.
no one wants to be alone forever.

fl...cont
also dont look to hook up with a woman
with hpv only for that reason. if it
makes it more comfortable for you then
fine but dont settle only for that
reason, make sure you have other things
in common. good luck!

Dude, get over it. I have HPV and
slept with 3 women. Nobody got it and
I always used a condom. Just wait
until the lesions go away.

Women can still catch it using a
condom, just make sure you are honest.
And definitely wait for lesions or
bumps to go away!

That was the first thing I worried
about. Dating. You just have to do what
you think is right. My focus is on
school. No time to date, well thats my
excuse. It would be cool to meet
someone with this. less stress. good
luck

Come on guys, out of everything you
are worried about dating. Dating is
one thing engaging in sex is
different. Just think, you are lucky
to only have HPV, it's a dangerous
world for those who are sexually
active.

How long have you had HPV for? You can
still pass it with a condom.

I've known for 1 year now. I am aware
that you can pass it with a condom. I
know that first hand, since I got HPV
w/a condom. I've never had sex w/out
one.

I guess everyone worries about dating
because this is hard to go through, but
going through it alone is even harder.

I just found out that I have HPV and I
have a fiance. We have had unprotected
sex before so I think she might have
it. I can't go on living knowing that
I gave her a virus. I am hanging on
the edge. Everyday I think about
pulling the trigger????????

Mike- I have thought about pulling
that trigger too. Almost did, ended up
in a crisis center instead and no
matter how angry I get about having
this diseaseand how many times I think
it may have been better if I did I am
still here fighitng it- wishing it
never happened or that I never found
out and was one of the lucky ones.

Mike, chill out. Look, if you're
going to get laid in life, this is
something you'll likely get. It's
skin to skin what the hell are you
going to do? Not have sex? Give me a
break.

Mike, firstly i think your bullshiting
but just incase your not, if you did
give your fiance HPV then thats very
unfortunate but how the hell do you
think she`d feel on top of that if you
killed yourself. you didnt do it on
purpose

Look on the CDC website...80% of
people get HPV during their life. It
can be said that its normal to get
this and if you are sexual active in
todays world YOU WILL GET IT. No
worries my man, this is by far not the
end of the world. In two years you'll
never know you had it in the first
place.

Personally, i wouldent worry about it,
its likr getting a wart on your hand or
foot. After a while it goes away, in
more than 90% of people the immune
system deals with it and kicks its ass.
I thought about offing myself too...but
after reading up on it I realized its
not a big deal, HPV is the most common
and most treatable condition. i cought
huge warts on my hands as a kid, and
after 20 years i havent had annother.
it could be worse. Good luck and god
bless

Guys and Mike....don't worry so much.
I felt horrible too but it goes
away....just get treatment. Just like
warts on hands/feet....they go away and
most likely don't come back. This is
what the studies show.

seriously.. hpv is NOT THE END OF THE
WORLD! when i found out i got it.. i
was like man that sucks, then i got on
with my life. its hpv, not hIv... if
you had HIV, THEN thats reason to be
upset! believe me.. i volunteered at an
hiv shelter, and even those people were
still happy! hpv is nothing more than a
little skin condition that happens to
be on sex organs, it doesnt kill you or
pose any health threats. we should
seriously consider ourselves LUCKY!!

well i am only 15 & i have had genital
warts ever since i was 8 or so.i have
never had sexual contact so i dont
understand how i got them..that,i
guess,shows how contagious they must
be.well i am really worried about my
future or if i will have a future with
someone.i just feel like i cant have a
good relationship with someone..i just
feel pressured and very embarassed..i
dont think at this age they will
understand.i just hope that this doesnt
ruin my later love life.

i just found out I have HPV...i
detected a wart so got myself checked
out. I'm bummed out, but also trying
to keep perspective. I know lots of
girls my age who have this same
std...it's pretty darn common. It's
just this wart that bums me out. And I
feel terrible about possibly exposing
my partner. Any tips on how to tell
your partners about this??
