well my guy has these small spots on his
nack that look like sweat rashes to me and
he asked me if they were a sign he had HPV
too. i felt soooo offended, like he was
throwing that in my face. now whenever
some thing little is bugging him or he
thinks somethings wrong or when he gets
sick he blames it on my HPV. i already
told him everyone has it or if not is
gonna get it sometime in their life if
their sexually active. he keeps mentioning
that he wants a physical. anybody have any
advice?

NO, THAT IS NOT HPV!!
HPV either causes genital warts, cervical
cancer, or causes cervical
abnormalities.
It can also cause nothing to happen at
all.
HPV is also often removed from the body by
the immune system, so you would not have
it forever.
Please tell him that with most forms of
HPV, he CANNOT be effected by HPV. Men are
simply carriers; literally, there are no
signs for a male to indicate he has it.
He can get genital warts depending on the
type of HPV. But, he shouldn't be making
you feel bad. I would force him to get a
test at the local free clinic or Planned
Parenthood if he's going to be such a dick
about it.
I have no patience for stuff like that. He
shouldn't be constantly blaming you. He
can take care of himself...he's a big boy!

thanx for that info Carifairy i knew it had
nothing to do with my HPV. even my doctor
said my type of HPV wasnt even that
serious, that my taking vitamins and
boosting my immune system it would more
than likely go away. my doctor was so nice
as to suggest couples counceling if my
boyfriend didnt understand it and just in
case it started putting stress on our
relationship. i even explained to him that
its not the cancerous type, that mines is
such a weak strain im able to fight if off
by boosting my immune system, that
everybody at some point in their lifetime
is gonna get or already has it. even with
protection its unavoidable so its neither
ones fault. i.ll let him know thanx guys i
feel better
