I have tried to explain to my finance what hpv is and how he can get it. It just isn't getting through to him. The doctors didn't tell me what strand or what is was or anything. I just had the internet to look it up and it doesn't explain it well.

Thank god he doesn't label me as dirty and bad. Good Luck.

When I told my husband, I said that HPV was a virus that has many strands that cause many different symptoms. I said it was spread through sex and some skin to skin contact. I didn't want to try to explain HPV to him when I didn't understand it completely myself. From that conversation on, whenever more info came to be available, we discussed it.

You have to keep this topic of discussion with him open ended because they are finding out more about this virus everyday. You also have to be patient with your doctor, he's learning too.

This virus has been an emotional rollercoaster for me and not very easy. Mainly I think because there's no definite answers...yet. Hang in there, it will get easier.

    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...
