My Boyfriend Has Hpv... Need Advice

Don't worry, hpv isn't anything I guarantee it. It doesn't matter if you use a condom or not, if he's infected you can get it no matter what. It's real common and easy to take care of. You might have a good enough immune system that you might not get it at all and if you do you might not have any break=outs. I have it, and have never ahd a break out, I only found out b/c of a bad pap. I was worried and felt disgusted at first until I read more about it. Now, well it's life anymore. The guys that I have told that I have slept with don't even care b/c they know that it's nto a big deal.

Thank you for you reply shoneen...
Have you had to have any leep procedures? I keep hearing about these but are these in severe cases or all cases of abnormal paps?

There's a few surgical procedures to do when it comes to hpv. Freezing, acids what not. I was also diagnosed with it on the bases of a bad pap also and then thru colposcopy. I've yet to get the results but on the visual, doc's like . . .Yep. So i'm like . . K. My case like most cases was microscopic. Its a virtually harmless virus if you take care of yourself. For women that involves getting your paps as scheduled and what not. If you're in a relationship with someone with hpv/genital warts then its a good idea to educate yourself on what you are dealing with. Here's a very informative link for you; should check it out.

If you really love him then I think you should look past his std. It happens to the best of us...I got herpes from a parner and when I met my now husband I cried my eyes out when I told him...He loved me so much he didnt care.
I thank god everyday for sending him to me. I was so afraid no one would ever love me. I hope you can look past this.

Well.. I love him more than anything.. I could see myself spending the rest of my life with him.. Thank you for your response, it's good to know there are other people in similar situations.. It's tough but whats meant to be is meant to be and I really feel we are supposed to be together.. Aside from this everything else is in place.. I've never felt so good about/with someone..

Thanks again for your advice..

Someone that I work with just told me today that there is a vaccine coming out for hpv. I dont know much else about it but perhaps you could find out more by searching the web???

Also on another note, if you plan on marrying him I am sure you wont want to use condoms forever and there is a good chance you will get it eventually. I just wanted to share that my friend also has hpv but had no symptoms until she was pregnant. She actually found out when she was pregnant and she had gotten it way before she was even married to her husband. She vaginally delivered a healthy baby, and her hubby and her are doing fine. You can still get pregnant and have healthy babies with hpv and herpes just fyi.
Also hpv is actually more common than you think- 1 in 3 sexually active adults have the virus although many do not even realize they have it because they may not experience any symptoms.

Good luck to you both!

After I caught herpes from a boyfriend-we later broke up. I had a very hard time accepting it and it took some time. My dad's advice to me was to look at as a "test of love" if a man couldnt accept that about me then he wasnt the right one. Now that I am happily married to my husband I think back on how my life might of been different if I hadnt caught herpes. Would I have settled down sooner to someone else?? All I know now is that I think it was a blessing in disguise.
And for you, I hope that if you truly love him that you may pass this "test of love"

Thanks lilypad! Tell your father that he is awesome! I never looked at it that way. My ex broke up with me too after I told him about my hpv and now I am seeing an awesome guy who loves me unconditionally.

Hpv is not that big of an issue about 80 percent of men and women get it. I have also had this myself which led to early early stages of cervical cancer but that was my first pap smear when I was 18. My doctor said that I am one of the worst cases with this happening with someone so young. So ever since I was 18 I have gone to get a pap smear every three months. Im now twenty. When I figured out I had hpv I cried my eyes out but with how often men and women get it its not a worry :o)))! Good luck with your boyfriend.
