i had it a while ago. they did not tell me my boyfriend gave it to me or that he needed to take a medicine. it can be caused fromtoo much sex or not peeing after sex becuase it is a build up of bacteria. so, yes he could give it to you again,but it is not like an std or something

Absolutely he can be giving it to you. The same goes for yeast infections. He may need to go to the doctor and get checked. Be sure to shower or bathe before sex. Use care not to transfer bacteria from the anal area to the vagina. Urinating after intercourse can help rinse some of the bacteria away.

I'm new here and I don't know how to start a new topic.... so... here I am. I have had Systemic Lupus for 32 years, so I have been thru the mill.

My first husband gave me HPV and I have systemic Herpes Zoster (shingles), so I take Valtrex. Here is my problem... I have had an ongoining vaginal infection for about 2 weeks. It hurts and burns and actually, I have pain in my abdomen.

I have discharge that is both white and clumpy, and thin and clear. I was recently diagnosed with a severe yeast infection and put on 5 days of diflucan along with the vaginal cream.

I am almost positive that my HPV (warts) are actually back, as I have examined the area and I see something that looks like it. The nurse practioner who did the pap smear did not say anything about them. (she is not a gyno)

I am in such misery with this and I don't know what to do. I am in constant pain and it is also itching. I don't know what to do? Any advice would be helpful!
Thasnks....

I hear you. I once, and only once, had a really bad vaginal infection. Very bad itching, redness, pain upon urination, yellow stuff on my panties and even blood which was inconceiveable to me as I had a hysterectomy many years ago. This happened when my former BF decided to cheat on me with another person.

I called her up as he had honest to goodness had the unmitagated gall to bring her into my house, my space to introduce us, "his two beautiful women." She gave him a drop dead look.

Started thinking about it and decided to call her up after I was diagnosed with HPV with the high risk types. I am sure you have heard the story. No, she is clean, yes they use condoms, must be just me and my problem. I, unfortunately, am not walking down that path as I haven't seen her medical records, nor had he.

I know about the warts. My doctor froze one off and it has left a very ugly scar. Oh, well. Never trust anyone to tell you that they are clean and free and clear of STD's. In the world in which we live, protect yourself. You are the one who will be living with it for the rest of your life. I know that I am.

Good luck to you.

I am just so miserable and I have not been with anyone -- that is the thing, and the last person I was with (several months ago) did wear a condom. I just have a predisposition to this type of thing because of my weakened immune system.

I had them frozen off when my ex-husband brought them home to me, but this was in 1989!! I appreciate your response.

The one thing that I have learned being on eHealth Forum, firstly about even what HPV was with the high risk types. When my doctor called to tell me I came back positive with HPV and the potential risk of the development of cervical cancer, I hit the proverbial brick wall. Because, everybody in my father's side of the family has died of cancer. She told me she would send me to a GYN for further testing.

I went through the whole yelling and screaming bit with my former BF. I know for a fact I was in a very long term marriage and I never had any problems. Then my husband died and I just got too lonely even knowing this would end up in the trainwreak that it became, I finally caved in and was with him.

Everything was fine until that infection and he finally admitted he had been with that other woman.

We haven't been together for a long time but I did develop a genital wart which looked like a califlower shaped thing on my upper thigh. My doctor froze it off.

I know what you are saying about Lupis. I never felt I had any issues with my health until 15 years ago when I was exposed to mold in my new air conditioning system of a car we had bought. It was a black car and had sat in the sun until we purchased it at year's end. I would see white flakes coming out of that air conditioning system.

I became tired, weak and eventually sent to a doctor who said I had asthma. He put me on steroids for a year. I lost 40 pounds and became so weak I could not sit up.

I told my doctor to please send me to a doctor who could help me. He sent me to Dr. Wolfe who saved my life. He put me on a breathing machine and predisone. I asked him to please help me because my husband loved me. Do the best you can. He sent me to the hospital for 6 weeks every day for them to pound on my lungs to get the mucus out. Painful. I slowly made it back.

Perhaps that is why my immune system is compromised, too. The kind doctor on eHealth Forum said that maybe the others were able to battle this off, but I could not.

We have to look at the bright side Paula. We are here. God loves us. We live.

Take care of yourself,

Bobbie

Thanks Bobbie and everyone who has answered me. I hope that I will be able to help all of you in some way or another in the future. I'm waning and must go to bed.... seizure meds at 6 a.m.
