I thought I was alone until I found this site...- - (8 ) comments.

I am a 25 year old woman diagnosed with HPV this last year. I could not believe my ears. I sat there and cried in the doctor's office. I felt all the weight in the world on my shoulders. I still do sometimes when I think about it. I thought I had passed up all STD's because I was older and not a teenager. Well I was in an 8 year monogamous relationship. We broke up two years ago. I met someone and we have been together now for two years. A year into our relationship I found out that I was infected. I have no better way to express the anger, hate and resentment I felt towards him or myself for not sticking to using protection, trusting him and not standing my ground and getting a test done together to know I was in the clear. I felt like an idiot. I should have respected myself more I thought of later. I am scared that HPV can lead to cervical cancer for all those who have this virus. I have the genital wart strand, but it never looked too bad, very small, thank God. That is why it took me time to find out. I still feel resentful. Why me. The worse part about it is that he never wanted to talk about it or comfort me. He wanted to pretend that it did not exist. He still does. We are not doing to well any longer and I am fearful to date any one any more. I am also afraid that if any of my friends know they will tell a guy I like. I know that would not be a friend, but these are the thoughts that cross my mind now. I have hope now and joy inside now that I know the body do rid itself of HPV. I would never want to put any other man or woman in danger because of sex. It is not worth ruining someone else's life. I hope that every infected person as myself goes to the doctor regularly and lets their sex partners know beforehand. I wish everyone good health and a happy life. Be thoughtful of others and be safe.
