How Do You Deal With It (genital Warts)?
Posted: 03-05-06 17:02pm

Thinking about this brings me to tears everytime, knowing that im infected. Ive been dating a girl for almost a year now, we were friends for a while before, so we have been together for 5 years almost. I love her. All ive gained from reading online is that hpv is very contagious. I cant bare to think of having intercourse, getting her infected, and that leading to cervical cancer. I couldnt live with myself. Ive told her and shes accepted it, says shes ok with it, that shell love me no matter what. But a whole life as virgins doesnt sound like itll happen, afterall we are human. I wanna ask for those of you married or in long term relationships, how do you deal with? Just take precautions? Is that enough? I just get so teared up thinking about this. What about the treatments...I dont see the point in removing them if you are always infected. I read about that bio-t, is herbal or prescription better? Is there ongoing research to try and cure this? Notice I said virgin earlier, some ppl say its impossible to contract this if you are a virgin and others disagree, so ignore that part. I had more questions but this is kinda long..Ill just leave it at that for now.
Thanks.

hey hun
just some words of wisdom from me...I noticed no1 had replied and u sounded so worried...I have been with my bf for 2 and a half years and in that time, we both were diagnosed with genital warts...And lets just say it sounded a lot worse than it was.. First of all its great ur gfs so understanding about it! Thats one up on a lot of couples, but basically wat I wanted to say was, it was confirmed we both had it in mid 2004, and neither of us have had another outbreak since then. We both used aldarra treatment cream and once it cleared up it hasnt come back, and im on the pill so we dont use condoms either! So hopefully if uv treated yours just see how you go, but you might get lucky and never have another outbreak!

I have have been with my bf for many years now and we both have hpv. What you need to know is just because you have warts and you have sex with your girl doesn't mean you are going to give her cervical cancer. You could give her warts, if that's the strain of hpv you have. You see, there are so many strains, hundreds of types. There are some that cause warts, some that cause cancer, and some that cause both. You should talk to your doctor and find out which kind you have. They have a test to find out. Hopefully, you just have warts which can be annoying but you won't have to deal with the possibility of cancer. Good luck to you!
