Adults,My doctor recently notified me that I had a low grain hpv strand, which I will be getting monitored every 6 months. The news came as a shock seeing how I think I got it from my first. However, i think I may have transferred it to my 2nd b/f and as a result he got genital warts yet the dr. results say that my strain is only causing displasia in me and not warts. As confusing as this is to me, Ive come to terms with it and decided to live a celibate lifestyle. However, I can not help but feel depressed and unworthy that I may have "destroyed" someones life. My problem comes because a long time friend is intrested in me, but does not know what is going on with my health. We've talked about becoming serious and dating, but im not sure how he would take the fact that i have hpv and chose to be celibate. im not saying that he would dump me because he is a wonderful man, but i know this would affect our future and i just need advice and possibly a help line where i can get counseling.

I recently was diagnosed with mild dysplasia as well....i was terrified and confused....i have done research on it and if it develops into pre cancerous cells you can get treatment.....i think you should start dating this guy and don't tell him about your virus until you have a solid relationship. If you are thinking of having sex with him just wear condoms.... but i feel like you do...i do not want to be sexually active until i get married....don't tell him you have it....time will tell where this relationship will go....remember that hpv does not affect men in the same way as women...for us it can be very serious....take care of yourself....god bless you....

First off...don't be hard on yourself...educate yourself on the virus and don't believe everything you read or hear. NOBODY knows the statistics more than your PCP. Sooooooo RELAX...I encountered HPV last year in October from my ex an he had NO clue he had it. Most men only have 1% of showing symptoms of HPV being warts. Warts are removed and in time the virus is surpressed. The only way this virus is life changing is that it makes you realize that there are a lot of things you should consider before being sexually active with someone. Then you change...it's a good thing. =)
Good luck!

When a strain is passed along (same as any virus) the strain changes...you probably gave him the virus, the virus changed and gave him warts. But..are you sure he didn't have herpes or anything like that to begin with? I know how you feeling like you have destroyed someones life...I feel like I've destroyed my last boyfriends life because I didn't know I had it and I gave it to him. Now, he didn't get warts, his body probably just got rid of it like a virus...but I still feel like I really messed him up in some way. So...the thing I just say to myself is that when you have sex, it's always a bargin. You don't know if that person has anything...and even worse...you don't know if that person doesn't know if they have anything.
I'm glad you have chosen to be celibate...I think I am going to try that. Too many things are emphazied on sex and I'm tired of it.
I hope that you choose to tell him eveything before you get into a relationship with this guy because if you don't...and then a while into it you then decide to...he might get really mad at you for not telling him in the beginning and that could destroy y'alls relationship.
Good luck darlin.

Over 75% of adults have HVP at some stage of their life.
It usually takeas about 1 - 2 years to clear the HPV from your system without treatment.
Stop stressing, and while you may like to let him know that it is a possibility, total celibacy for the rest of youir life is probably not warranted!
