Paps are necessary for everyone with or without HPV. I also have a type carried by but doesnt affect men. I have never had warts but have had cancer due to this virus.

I am sorry that happened to you. I actually have had both types now. When I had the cervical type about 12 or so years ago, I was treated and have had normal paps since. If he loves you, he will wait for you. This type really isn't a big deal for men, it's just that they can carry it and pass it on to others the way I understand it. Let me know if you ever need to talk. I sometimes get down about all this too and could use a friend sometimes also.

This could happen to anyone.. rich.. poor.. handsom..beautiful..black..white.. italian. german.. girl.. boy ... your not a bad person becasue u did not know that person was infected.... its hard to put trust in someone and its even harder knowing men can't be tested for it so sex is a constant game of russian rullet. ... I have the form that causes genital warts.. you have one that may cause cancer.. there are so many types and so many people are infected with it ... don't think your a bad person .. that the last thing.. just keep yourself healthy and inform your boyfriend when you are ready to...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
