Living w/ High Risk HPV is tough
I'm the one living with High Risk HPV and it's so hard to comfort my mate let alone comfort myself. From all my reading on line I'm understanding that when in a committed relationship chances are my partner already has the same strain I have. From my readings I see Dr's and people saying Dont stress enjoy your partner. I just feel like I would sound selfish or insensitive to my partner is I say don't worry you probably already have the same strains I have. How or what is the best way to approach conversations about HPV? Can you help me out plz . Thx
Thanks guys. I have had more sexual partners then my mate so for some strange reason I feel the one responsible for actually contracting it. I so wish there was a test men can take to know something. When the Dr. Checked me and said there is no sign of cancerous cells on my cervix I was so happy. And when he said come back in 12 months for my annual pap I was ever more happier because I'm thinking it should be ever 6 months if it's not every three for HPV patients. It seems like every time I switch my dr. I find out something new about my body... I'm defiantly eating healthier and doing what's best to live stressfree but it's not that easy. Thx for the input people
I'm inclined to agree with most of what veryworried420 posted.
Well over half the human population has some form of HPV. One of the doctors wrote, "it is a fact of life." It is more common than many others.

Well, you have no idea if he gave it to you or you gave it to him. No that this matters but men are usually carriers. Just comfort him and let him know that you are in this together. Use the stats about 75-85% of the sexually active population having this with a clearance (not sure if permenant) for 90% of the infected within 6-24 months. With annual checkups and living a more healthier life, cancer is a low percentage. And yes, you can both enjoy great unsafe sex together. You can't change the past. It isn't a big deal especially if you use this a wake-up call to be healthy. Since you can be tested, he will know when you clear it.
