Hi im new, Ill skip the pleasantries and
get right down to it. My girlfriend has
just been diagnosed with HPV. WE have had
protected sex with exception of twice
(Take note, I do know that that’s
enough)… The doctor said that she had
high grade dysphasia as well. Now my
question is what’s this mean for me?
What should I do? And is there any way I
can start the motions early... Please
help.

YOu can start by getting yourself tested.
Talk to your doctors, have them explain
terms you don't understand, and go from
there.

.i was just diagnosed with this as well
(.i am a girl also had dysplasia but only
mild). .my doctor informed me that guys
will not have any adverse side effects
from it and you will never test positive
for it since their is no test for hpv for
men. .i would talk to your doctor about
it just to put your mid at ease.
.the high risk strain refers to the
elevated risk of cervical cancer in men.
.you do not have a cervix so this doesn't
really mean anything to you. .high risk
strains also do not cause warts so you
will never have outward signs of this
infection. .hpv has also been know to go
away on its own, which is unique to this
virus.

Right. So all it means for you, umbral,
is that you could give it to future
partners if you do have it.
