Human papillomavirus is a diverse group of DNA-based viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. More than 100 different human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been characterized.

Ever since I'm diagnosed with GW, I feel so low. I feel like I'm no more normal human being, lack of confident and the only time I pretend to be confident is when I'm with my gf. I feel so depress till my doc have to prescribe me with anti depression. I don't know how to be myself anymore, as I was a cheerful and happy go lucky person.
What can I do to get my normal life? Can I live a normal live in future? What else I have to face in future with this virus?

Life shouldn't be any different now! I know at first, I felt helpless and alone. But you should realize that this little nuisance shouldn't keep you down because in 70% of victims it goes away within a year and 95% of the people who have it will go away in 2 years (I got these numbers from a posting on this forum).
If you don't mind me asking, did a doctor diagnose you? Did they offer any sort of treatment? There are several ways to get rid of the warts, despite the fact that you may have a break out again. But the sooner you notice a wart, the easier the removal is at a doctor's office. It's a pain to always be monitoring yourself, but if you stay on top of things you can help your body beat this virus.
One way to hurry you body into "curing" itself of the virus is to improve your immune system. Working out more, eating better, even taking vitamin supplements will help. Our bodies are powerful and more you build up your immune system, the more likely it will wipe this virus out of you.
