Thank you very much for your answers. Having so many questions and doubts about how did I get HPV poses a lot of additional stress to the whole situation. Thanks very much for the advice. Really appreciate it!
This is a pasted copy of what I had answered for another person...hope this helps your worries
I have been going through some bad perimenopause symptoms which forced me to see a gynecologist. I found out I had HPV but I have been married for almost 27 yrs! Call me ignorant but I never cheated on my husband & there are no signs of him ever cheating on me. I have never had an abnormal pap smear in my life until now. The doctor told me I, or my husband could have gotten HPV the very first time either one of us had sex. Yes, you CAN have it for many many years & have no signs of it what so ever. You can also get it, not be a smoker & your body will make it disappear within 2 years...however I smoke. I am 47 yrs old & still have no cancer & have never had any warts what so ever.
It's definitely possible that you got HPV from a previous partner or even from your current (not because they cheated) because HPV can lay dormant for decades before making itself known (weakened immune sytem)...you'll NEVER know where or who you got it from...know that HPv is VERY COMMON ..about 80% or more of sexally active ppl have it..usually clears itself on it's own..you should be taking a multi w/ folica cid (800mg per day), green tea, exercise, no smoking/drinking..if your partner smokes..they should stop or use condoms..toxins accelerate the virus. .
