HPV messing with my life

I’m 21, got hpv when I was 19. Worst thing that could ever happen to me. People always talk about people that have std’s like they are the dirtiest, most nasty people. I was one of those people until I got warts myself. They never talk about how to feel or what to do when you get diagnosed. Basically my self esteem, confidence, everything has gone down the drain.

I’m terrified about getting into a relationship with a woman. Just for the simple fact that I will have to tell her what I have. Putting up with the chance of this woman saying I can’t be with you because of it. I’m terrified I’m going the meet the woman of my dreams, the woman I wish to marry, and she won’t give me a chance because of what I have.

A year ago I met a girl, my present girlfriend and I took the big step in telling her about my warts. That was so crappy, holding back tears as I was telling her. I was so afraid she was going to say see ya nasty boy. Well she chose to be with me anyway, and we wore condoms. Eventually she said that we could have it unprotected, and after making sure she was sure, we did. So now she shares this disease.

This is where I’m at in my llife right now, stuck in a relationship. It’s been a year now, and I’m not happy being with her anymore. Things just aren’t the way they used to be. I’m 21, have my whole life ahead of me. I wan’t to get out, meet new people, friends, women. I can’t do it though. One, I’m scared to have to tell another woman about it like I told this one. Two, I’m ridden with guilt! I gave her warts, and now I want to leave her.

I must go my time is up at the library. But it feels good to get that off my chest. Any comments, advise, suggestions are welcome. Thanks guys.

Sorry for any typos, I had to hurry.

I’m really sad to hear of your situation. Have you told your girlfriend that you feel “stuck”?, it sounds like she really took a leap of faith for you, have some faith with her. If this doesn’t work, I’m sure there are support groups with women in your situation.

I am sure you have done tons of research on the HPV virus, but just in case there might be something new out there, why don’t you try and Google: HPV Genital warts. Here is just one of many results:

Is there a site that would have pics about this disease, I mean ummm, I think I have something on my dick.

For some reason those pics didnt open.

Sounds like it’s time to visit a doctor, kaunajouna.

Sorry to hear about that YouKnowD. I thought HPV (Human Papillo Virus) was treatable.

The symptoms can be treated, but it cannot be cured. They are developing a vaccine for it, though. It’s extremely common, about 80% of young women are estimated to have it, most never have any symptoms. Against the common belief, 85% of the cases get cured on their own in couple of years after the infection. There’s some talk of it being transmitted by mere touch and therefore even rubbers would not protect from it.
How do I know? My girlfriend learned that she has it while we were dating, therefore I have/had it too. I’ve never had any symptoms from it (warts).
My girlfriend asked the doctor if she should retain from having sex without rubbers and she said that she shouldn’t worry about it, it’s so common that it wouldn’t change a thing.

You do know that the warts can be removed right? They don’t recommend it nowadays, though, as the operation isn’t pleasent and they will most likely come back.

You feel that you don’t want to be with your girlfriend anymore? Don’t let the HPV stop you. Just be honest with her.

YouKnowD: hell, almost EVERYONE carries that virus now! It does not manifest in everyone as warts, but it is so contagious that infection occurs in something like 50% of the people who are exposed to it. Get on the Internet and read about it instead of beating yourself up. Shit, I think even got that years ago . . had some tiny warts . . and they have never come back after being fried off. Keep your immune system strong, wait for the vaccine, and quit worrying. It is such a small thing. A huge percentage of sexually active teens and adults are carrying that virus. Many of the girls you are afraid to tell are probably carrying it too! My ex-wife developed a wart and it turned out SHE had it. Had it removed and no more outbreaks. QUIT WORRYING.

Twat, you bastard… I nearly shit myself over that one….

It is a scary world we live in and I don’t want to catch anything. Sometimes I think a blow up doll is the only safe thing left. Either that or I will have to find a new niche like seducing hot young nuns just to be on the safe side.

I will ask anyone out there since this is such a broad board with knowledge, is there any homeopathic cures or reducations for this problem? Any alternative medicine fans, please tell us about it.

Thanks and sorry RWG.

If you can identify a hot one under those “habits” they wear, then more power to you!

Is there a difference between genital warts and “normal” warts like the ones that people typically get on their hands etc?

Well, this post gives me another reason to be glad that my wife and I have been together and faithful to each other for the past 27 years and have not had to worry about the STD problems of today.

YouknowD,

I am sorry but I must say it. Your girl is a saint. To take that risk - wow. I don’t know what I would do if I were you.
