I was diagnosed with HPV about 3 days ago. Since then I have been worried about it non-stop & crying. I quit smioking cold turkey on the spot at the doctors office. I left my husband of 6 years about a year ago and have since had other partners. We have 2 kids together ages 2 & 4. I moved away for a year & recently moved back to be closer to their father, as I could not find daycare in the town I was living. When I returned back to the small town where my husband resides we had sex a couple of times before I noticed a bump. I went to the dr. and was told it was hpv genital warts. He has not had any other partners, & it is all my fault. I feel like a bad person. & I am worried that I may have given it to my son who is still in diapers. I own a business & I am too depressed to even go to work. My ex whom I left bc of lack of sex & his RAMPANT porn addiction has been very understanding & supportave. I lay in bed & cry, I am so worried about giving it to my son & fear he may have it already then I'll have to pull him out of daycare as it is a small town & the day care providers WILL talk. I feel like my only choice is to gop back to my ex....

I know you are really upset, but a lot of your fears are not reality based. You can't give it to your son so stop worrying about that. Also, you could have contracted HPV at any time in the past because the virus can be dormant in your system. You could have gotten it from your ex husband or any other person, but that's really not important now. Once you quit smoking, you have already begun to improve your health.
Also, you shouldn't go back to your ex because you have HPV. Put more value on yourself than that and realize that millions and millions of people have one of over 250 strains of this virus that's as common as the cold. Concentrate on educating yourself about HPV and improving your health and use this board to both discuss it and educate yourself. Good luck

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
