Not all STDs are for life! Bacterial STDs can be treated and cured. Viral STDs can be treated, but there are NO cures.
HPV is a viral STD. There is treatment to get rid of the warts caused by the virus, but there is NO cure. Fortunately, for most people, they are able to get rid of the virus all on their own. Their bodies can basically "fight off" the virus. But, not every one is so lucky. Some people will have it the rest of their life. And, just because a person has been able to get rid of the virus, doesn't mean they won't get it again. A person can always contract the virus again even if they have gotten rid of it before.
HPV is EXTREMELY common. It's estimated about 75 - 80% of the WORLD will have the virus some time in their life. MILLIONS of people have HPV and MILLIONS of them are in relationships and are perfectly fine (including me!). Just let any girl you have sex with know you have the virus (and tell them before you have sex!). If they don't want to be with you because of that, then fine. There are plenty of fish in the sea!

I am not a male but I've dealt with hpv and its the same as a female except a female can get cervical cancer 1-i don't think the warts go away on their own I doubt it and no female warts don't go away on their own you need to treat it get a prescription of aldara it will be gone pretty fast I works wonders 2-if left untreated? They shouldn't be untreated but the warts don't grow very big some stay at they look right now 3-im a female and I had 1 outbreak and they never came back im very clean but why did u get them surgically removed and now your saying they came back I don't think you should ever do anything surgically to them just get some aldara 4-you can have sex just get rid of the warts first but you can still pass it on with no warts so tell your partners use protection and have them wash their genitals with soap after sex soap kills the virus also masturbation won't do anything either just wash your hands after 5-masturbation and having sex don't put you at risk for prostate cancer

First, some of these people don't know much about HPV or STDs and are insensitive. USING A CONDOM DOES NOT 100% PROTECT YOU FROM STDS LET ALONE ONE SUCH AS HPV OR HERPES WHICH IS CONTRACTED FROM SKIN TO SKIN CONTACT. Ok, so I have HPV. I'm 19 single female in college and scared to death. But here's what I have learned after being diagnosed. There are over 100 strains of HPV which are in 2 classes a) high-risk (meaning they show no external signs but internal account for 90% of cervical cancers in women) and b) low-risk (external signs aka genital warts but no internal damage like high-risk). Obviously you have low risk. I, on the other hand, have high risk. For both cases, the immune system can supress or even get rid of the HPV virus. I read for those with low-risk after you stop having an outbreak for over 6 months you can pretty much consider yourself cleared, but YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE CAREFUL AND ALWAYS USE CONDOMS. I'm in the same worry boat. I feel like I'm "damaged goods," that no one should love me, worthless, and ashamed of myself. I am seeing a counselor. From now on, we both have to build relationships before sex can be put into the picture. Once, you are finally ready talk to her about it. Explain to her all of the information ex) 80% of sexually active females will have had atleast one strain of HPV by the time they are 50. (go to the center for diases control's website you can trust their information) If they go running, then obviously they arent the right person for you. Yes, I feel like this sucks, but I don't want other people to go through what I'm going through. And honestly, I feel the sme what like my life is so much different and so screwed up. Try a HPVsupport.com for help. That's what I've been using.

Removing the warts won't make HPV go away. It could actually make it worse.
I recommend that you keep your genital warts under control by keeping in touch with your doctor.
I also recommend a dating service that caters to peope who have HPV (aka everyone has it in the group) that way you won't have to push them away. :)

Just beware that some females that do get it have a higher chance of getting cervical cancer Good Luck!!
Don't let it get you down it's not like it's deadly it could be worse

just make sure that u don't give it to someone else! just because you got it doesn't mean that everyone have to suffer! Is not easy living with STDs but the point is you have it and what you are going to do from here on. If you find a female whom you want to be intimate with and you really like her just let her know your situation if she's for you she will understand if not than someone will in the meantime use condoms please!
