So sad to say, at a time when I should be just the happiest of them all, i find out some very disturbing news!

I have had routine health check ups for the past few years and tests always come back normal. I actually just had a pap done the beginning of last month and everything came back normal.

Well, i had a short discussion with my bf and it turns out, hes had genital warts before. I've had no knowledge of this! He claims he "doesn't have them any more" because he doesn't have visible warts. He doesn't understand that the HPV virus will always be in his system.

My bf was married (for 7 years) after he "supposable" contracted this virus and his ex wife hasn't had any abnormal tests. She has had 2 beautiful kids with him and everything came back normal.

How long does it take for the virus to appear in your system. Meaning - how long does it take, after contracting the virus, that the test for HPV comes back ?


I feel like my world is just torn apart right now. I keep going back to "well, i just had a routine check up, everything came back normal so I'm fine" but i know that is a "virus" that is incurable?
