Answer 1

In the beginning, it's really hard! I have had HPV for 6 years now, I was diagnosed at 17 years old. I can tell you from all the years I have had it, it gets better! Time heals A LOT!

I was really depressed when I was first diagnosed. Not only was I diagnosed with HPV, but I was also told I had genital herpes. That same year I developed cervical cancer from my HPV. It was one of the worst times in my life, but I got through it!

You just have to keep going, and try not to think about it. MILLIONS of people have HPV, so you are certainly not alone! Focus on things in your life that matter to you, like your fiance and family! I turned to my mother when I was diagnosed. She was the most supportive person in the world to me!

Don't blame yourself though! Things happen! The best thing to do is to just move on and try not to think about it. I hardly ever think about the fact that I have both of these viruses. I just try and think off all the things that matter to me, like my family, fiance, my dogs, etc. Having HPV shouldn't ruin your life! Good luck!

Answer 2

Well, I was just diagnosed with hpv after being raped. It is not fun, it's scary, and it's painful! I too blamed myself for it. There is no reason to loose hope though. Think about the positive. You were strong enough to go and get treated for it! That's the most important thing. There is no reason to blame yourself. You didn't know your ex boyfriend had the disease. Chances are he didn't know either! What's in the past can not be changed, but you can change how you look at your future! Look on the bright side! You can still have kids if you want, you got treatment, and hopefully you will continue to get treatment and regular tests in case you get more lesions. Be thankful that you have a fiance that loves you and accepts you. Your life hasn't ended! You can still have sex, you're not going to die from it and you can live your life as a healthy woman!!! Good luck honey, cheer up! And if you continue to have depression about it, go get some anti depressants! They help!

Answer 3

I had/have the type of hpv that causes cancer. I've had clean paps for a year and a half, so I think I have probably passed it. in most people the virus will clear on its own in a few years. but after I found out I was soooo devestated. I felt embarassed and alone and angry with myself. it was really bad. I kinda let myself go and got really depressed that I'd never be able to have kids (even though I knew it wasn't true), or how embarassed I'd be to tell future partners I had it, etc, etc, etc. I saw a therapist and a psychiatrist and I'm ok now. the new guardasil vaccine campaign has really brought the issue out in the open, and I've found out it's really common. most women will get one strain or another at some point (most will never know), it's no big deal really. just get regular paps and you'll be ok. I didn't have a strain with warts, so I can't help you with that, sorry. I feel for you, it sucks, but you'll be ok.

Answer 4

When I first found out I was devistated. My partner didn't have any symptoms and he still does not...once I told him he acused me of cheating and says it wasn't from him.
I was very sad and my sister was there for me...very supportive! It's so crazy how when HPV started coming out that I still didn't know about it...and funny...I get it...
Ironic how life is...
Well HPV changed a lot of things in me...I take myself a lot more serious and respect my body a lot more...
I have moved and have had supportive partners...I just broke up with my bf...so I'm going through a difficult time now...
Anywho...I changed my diet, exercise and take vitamins for my immune system...
There are support groups on line that are great...
I'm on positivesingles.com and this website is great with people that have the virus. I've met a lot of people that can relate to me.
Also go on healthandhpv.com that site is helpful too.
I'm not worried about HPV...and I'm not going to let it interfere with my life...
So be strong... =)
Your lucky to have found your fiance who supports you and loves you for you....!
chin up!

Answer 5

find a support group, I dont have hpv, but had a group of friends who all had it. I introduced them all, and they all felt less alien and more normal once they realized there are many people diagnosed and living with hpv
