HPV - How and How Long Ago?
I have been battling non HIV autoimmune issues for years. Biopsies have recently revealed HPV and as I've been married for more than 26 years (no other partners--and I trust my husband), I'm at a loss to know how I got HPV or when. Can HPV be dormant for 26 years -- or could the many medical procedures I've had to the vulvar area presented a possible cross-transfer? My pap smears have been normal.
oh u have the warts?so they are around the vulval area?i was assuming that u had the high risk cervical HPV.had u had these in the past?several years ago my nieces hub out of the blue developed thrombocytogenic purpura...and went in2 a coma for 2 months!we thought we lost him!was the most bizarre thing!please keep us updated with gynos finding...yes this is most unique indeed and obviously very frustrating for u!
I've only had a "wart" biopsy. I have to make appointments with my gyno.
I thank you for your input. I am 57 and in total shock over the havoc going on with my body. Scleroderma Morphea, Lichen Sclerosis, Sarcoidosis, Thrombocytopenia, one after another. I feel like screaming, "What else are you going to throw at me???"
To date, not specialist (and I've seend A LOT) can tell me why I have all these problems. I'm like a poster child for little know diseases and now this. If it keeps up, I'm claiming alien abduction!
I'll post the gyno's findings as things progress -- and again, I thank you. You are a little blessing for me.

then if no other sexual contacts ur situation supports the dormancy theory!r they sure its HPV?there r certain dysplasias than can be caused by things other than HPV.Ur problems with ur immune system certainly could xplain a suppression of the virus.my very good friend has been celibate for 12 years.she was notified she has dysplasia and is scheduled for a colposcopy soon.if she has HPV i will believe in the dormancy theory!u have a unique situation..is most likely not the norm for most gynos/docs today diagnosing HPV.Have u had colposcopy yet?
My husband had prostate surgery several years ago (complete removal) so while he can function sexually, he does not ejaculate. I have not had other relationships. So I'm at a loss...
HPV doesn't transfer to a vulvar area.....it is a sexually transmitted virus.I personally don't believe HPV lies dormant for years using myself as xample.Was celibate for 10 years yearly paps no problems.Got in2 a relationship and one year after it ended i had high risk HPV.Dr.Hook in the Experts forum stated that the liklihood of this lying dormant for years was unlikely due 2 my vigilance with the paps.He stated most likely i was x-posed to a new strain of HPV.If u believe ur husband than u will most likely go with it lying dormant.Would be interesting to see what Drs.Hook and Handsfield say-u could re-post this in the Experts Forum-std's for a $15 fee.
