i need help in understanding..

i went overseas this summer. i fell in love (europe can do that to you) and had unprotected sex. i was a virgin before him and i havent slept with anyone else since. i had went in for a regular pap (1st ever at 21) and it came back abnormal mild celluar changes. i got pamphelt about hpv and an apointment on monday. its 4:40 am and i cant sleep. i dont know anything about this. do i have genial warts? and lets just say this isnt the strain for that... i cant sleep with anyone in 2 years before it cleans itself up? i dont know what to do... i already called the bastard and yelled my head off. he got tested, turns out there is no test for men and they laughed out of the clinic. i have filmy discarge, more every week. ive noticed no bumps, nothing. i had a yeast infection and cervicitis i treated with cream and antibiotics. could the abnormal pap be because of those? im so nervous, no one is going to be with me again.

Yes, both men and women can have it
with out showing any signs. That's why
it is improtant for women to get paps
on a regular basis. True there is no
real test for them, but that doesn't
mean they don't have it. Don't worry
things will be ok. 80% of sexually
active people get it. That's a lot of
people. Some fight it off really
quick, some struggle and others never
know they got it or have it. Ask lots
of questions, read and stay healthy.
Best of luck.

stay after it hon and do everything
your doctor says. you may not have
the strain with gws or they may just
be on the inside where you cant see
them. do a lot of selfchecks and go to
each follow-up appointment. the
biopsy will not be fun but will show
the doc where the problem is so he
can treat it. your catching it early is a
good thing. stay healthy and eat right
