help! :)
Hi i was wondering about the HPV, I can see that there are posts about it, But i had a partner about 2 years ago, who told me, after having sex with me that he had hpv, and went to the doc. to remove a bump on his penis. I never thought about it really, becuase i never noticed anything weird about myself. In the past two years i have a new partner and we have had unprotected sex. I have talked with him about this, and also stated that he never, nor has anything. I am noticing alot that both of our breaths are funky. (we do drink coffee but still) and he has had little white bumps on his tongue when i met him. First this i noticed lol. Dont ask. Hes a good guy!!!
But never the less...i have a wart on my foot :( lill red like pimple like bumps on my legs i always scratch them off. Its not over whelming, but they are on my bum, on my legs and inside my theighs. Also on the lips on my vigina there are lill white bumpies..and alilll itchy sumtimes i dont know. I had sex when i was 14 (23 now) for the first time by a guy who took advantage of me while i was drunk!!! i dont now maybe he had something first. I went to my doc. and he took a swob.. and it came back blank..then took another one and he said i was fine.. but i dont feel fine!!!!

Have a doctor take a look at the bumps.
There is no definitive test for HPV. The HPV test for women can only determine if there is an active cervical infection.
HPV typically lasts for 6-24 months, so I wouldn't be too worried about any exposure years ago.
Get your regular PAPs.

Did you go to a gynocogist doctor? they can test you for HPV. I believe it is done at the same time as your Pap if you ask. If you are worried get tested for the various STDs. You need to go to a woman's doctor in my opinion if you did not already. If you find out that you have something, you need to get your partner treated as well as that he does not pass it back to you.
Here is some information on HPV:
What is HPV:
Human Papillomavirus, more commonly known as HPV, is a viral infection spread through skin to skin sexual contact. HPV is a group of over 100 different viruses, with at least 30 strains known to cause different types of cancer. There is currently no cure for HPV.
How Can You Get HPV
HPV is transmitted by skin to skin contact through vaginal, anal and oral sex with a partner who already has HPV. If infected, signs and symptoms may take weeks, months and even years to appear. Symptoms may never appear.
Symptoms of HPV
Symptoms of HPV normally appear in the form a cauliflower like growths called genital warts. These warts may also be flat. They can be found on the inside and the outside of the vagina. These growths may take weeks or even years to show after having sex with an infected partner. Again, they may appear show at all.
How Do I Know If I Have HPV?
An HPV test can be done to determine if a person has HPV. Testing samples of cervical cells is an effective way to identify high-risk types of HPVs that may be present. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an HPV test that can identify 13 of the high-risk types of HPVs associated with the development of cervical cancer. There is currently no test to determine if a man has HPV.
Preventing HPV
Abstaining from any type of sexual realtions is ideal in preventing HPV, but not very realisitc these days for adults. Wearing a condom provides limited protection. The male condom provides limited protection. Keep in mind that since HPV may not show any visible symptoms, your partner may still be infected.
Also, if you are not feeling well, get a second opinion from another doctor. Good Luck
