HPV or rough sex?

[Oujay]

Hi, my girlfriend just went in for a STD test today, and upon vaginal inspection she was told that her cervix looked irritated and possibly torn. The worker told her that there was no bacteria present in her vagina, but they gave her antibiotics in case of Chlamydia, and told her it was possible that she had HPV. She has had occasional pinching pains in her abdomen.
We had fairly rough sex about three weeks ago (she is very small and I am well-endowed), and afterwards it hurt her to sit down. My question is: is it possible that this sex could have caused this irritation/tearing in her cervix, or am I positively looking at an STD here?

Hello,
This irritated cervix could have been due to trauma and inflammation. Regarding HPV, Many a times only a swab test is not enough to know whether there is active infection or not. Laboratory tests which should be conducted include: culture of the virus, direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) studies to detect virus, skin biopsy, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to test for presence of viral DNA and antibody test.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Well theres many things to take into consideration here. How long have both of you guys been together? Its good to know a sexual history of both partners. If she didnt have anything before you and you dont have anything then chances of chlamydia are not possible.

I dont understand how they just looked at her vagina and said all this, she needs to have a proper pap smear test to see whats going on in that area. It could well in fact be because of the rough sex but its always good to get a doctor a look at it, and in this case a specialist such as a gynecologist for her.
