what have doctors said?

Would like to hear everyone's experience when they talked to their doctor about GW's. What did they say and emphasize about HPV? I am not saying whether I agree or disagree just stating my experience. Mine said "once they are gone (didn't say how long) don't worry about telling, wear a condom and limit your sexual partners."

yes, i was told if i went 2 years
without symptoms i would never see
them again AND people who are married
that see this years into marriage
that infidelity is probably the cause

1/11/2005 8:21:21 AM -
I called the cdc and asked them, because
my doctors didn't really give me an
answer.

1/11/2005 8:59:54 AM -
any advice from your doctor, pls

1/11/2005 9:00:32 AM -
Please tell me your doctors said about
your future?

1/11/2005 9:11:48 AM -
what did the CDC say?

My boy friends doctor said it could only
be transmitted through skin on skin
contact directly with the warts. So we
abstained from sex, he told me when we
first started dating, and always had a
clothing barrier - but that wasn't
enough. I never saw or touched any of
his warts and we never had direct skin
on skin contact. His doctor suggested
this. Of course this was the stupidest
thing ever, after about eight months I
ended up with HPV. Continued below

I don't think his doctor meant to be
misleading I just don't think he really
did all the research. My doctor said you
can get it from holding hands, and I
know that isn't true and corrected her.
I should have been more careful, but I
trusted his doctor and I was stupid.
Luckily, albeit annoying, upsetting,
scary, and embarrassing, I'm in a good
relationship and although I do not want
HPV, I'm happy about my relationship. I
don't trust what doctors say about HPV.

doctors are misinformed b/c the
information is changing so rapidly
regarding hpv that many of them dont
have the time/ability to keep up with
all the current info.your doctor may be
telling what they learned the yr b4,but
with hpv, one yr is a LONG time with
data b/c it changes so quickly. dont
be mad at dr's, just dont trust them to
know EVERYTHING, i mean they are only
human,do you know ANYONE who knows
everything current about something so
rapidly changing?

1/12/2005 1:20:29 AM -
oh, I completely understand, but I do
think I should have informed myself
better so I could ask my doctor more
questions. Like everyone else, they do
the best they can.

1/12/2005 1:50:47 AM -
the cdc has a hotline number at cdc.gov
- you should call them and ask
questions. they are nice and helpful.

1/12/2005 6:49:36 AM -
Yes CDC said that anyone has hpv is
dangerous to other one!

here is a professional presentation....
http://www.ncsddc.org/meetings/2001/HPV
.pdf

Look on page 7, even says you can
clear it..."loss of HPV genomes"

1/13/2005 8:20:30 AM -
poster above, it doesnt say you can
clear it, it says they cant detect it.
not being able to detect it doesnt mean
it isnt there. medical community has
found that one out way to many times.

1/13/2005 9:20:54 AM -
hello...I said CAN...besides not being
able to detect doesn't mean it IS
there as well...gotta look at both
sides buddy

1/13/2005 10:11:03 AM -
i know you said CAN, i'm saying not
detecting it doesnt mean that you HAVE
cleared it. i know to look at both
sides, and they tell me that drs arent
really sure, even with all the research
b/c they dont have sensitive enough
tests to really tell AND there is still
so much they DONT know about viruses.
i'm saying since there is so much
conflict about it, ppl shouldnt be
saying "oh i dont have it anymore" dr's
change their stories every year. you
should ALWAYS inform

1/13/2005 2:00:29 PM -
Of course they have sensitive enough
testing....in fact tests are out there
that are better than the HPV test but
they are not available to the public.
Mostly used in clinical trials in
groups. So if you want to get involved
in a HPV study you can get the more
sensitive testing...they even tell you
what exact strain you have as well.

FDA submission for the vaccine will be
this year!

"you should ALWAYS inform"

what are you the telling police? Ya
know its funny..my guess is you are
not even single....just a woman whos
husband brought home an STD to her

1/13/2005 8:20:34 PM -
no, a woman who got it from her husband
on their wedding night. i abstained
til marriage, he was previously married
and his cheating wife brought it home
to him.

1/14/2005 11:24:25 AM -

when you guys got married?

1/14/2005 8:49:06 PM -
2 yrs

1/17/2005 4:31:32 PM -

study?

1/18/2005 12:24:05 PM -
