Hi, I found out I'm a carrier. My wife has HPV. We've been together for 18 years. There was a time where we separated for 3 years b/c we couldn't STAND EACH OTHER. & yes, we both had 2 different sex partners.
We know there's no use (& it's really stupid) to point fingers. I would like to know if anyone knows of any national HPV groups that meets locally. I would like to join a group and meet face to face. I have been a DS member for 1 1/3 yr. I know how beneficial DS is, and I believe that I'll get help here, and I WILL really try to be there for others in this group!!!!! I work in Chicago, so I think there's some hope of being in a group around in that area. Posted on 11/02/09, 10:11 am |

You're right not to point fingers, especially at this point. Where you live, check your local hospitals which may have support groups, or Planned Parenthood. Good luck!

this is hard to believe, but I couldn't find an active, regular-meeting HPV group in Chicago or the area. Maybe I didn't do a long enough search, but THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE with so many people having HPV!!!!

Wonder if it's because the docs/medical community think it's so "common" and "not a big deal"( especially since the majority of pple never know that they have it?! )Seems that they aren't concerned about HPV really until it progresses into something more serious. I too couldn't find a support group..besides the communities on line.
