I am 14 yrs old and I have acquired HPV through self-sex and it is very degrading. I have gotten the genital warts and am wondering if I should go see a doctor. I have generally lived a respectable life and I do not wish to seek proffessional help or help from my mom unless as a last resort. I greatly regret doing this shameful thing to myself, I was just curious and never knew anything like this would come or else i wounldn't have done it. I have read all the sites on HPV and know it is noncurable and the infection will usually clear after 8 months...First of all, what does that mean? Infection? Does that mean I will still have the virus or warts? I have had this for a year and a half(much more than 8 months) and it has only gotten worse. It has effected my mental health and my social life. I feel like an animal and no one can know why. My self esteem and intelligence were very high before and now the self-esteem has plummeted. I would like to know if this infection will clear on its own (warts and virus?), and if I should seek any help for it. Thanks

P.S. If anyone is having any form of sex in the younger ages or going to, stop and don't think about it until you are older. I guarentee the satisfaction is not worth the pain i went through, even with just HPV...and I know worse things are out there. But if something like this does happen, it will make you feel worthless, trashy, animal-like, and you will regret it just as I have. Please make use of this advice.
