HPV Support Group

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.

I find it interesting that this site lists hpv underneath womens health concerns only. Though it is true that only women can be tested for hpv it will take both genders to combat the spread of hpv. I believe that the key to prevention and healthy sex is communication.
The point of all of this is: I want to open up an on going brainstorm session with the intention of finding a media outlet, messege, and campaign that would not just put the information out there but also get peoples attention. I don't want anyone to feel like a victim of any std!!!

That is so true and i feel like nobody has really been informed much about hpv because i dont think anyone really knows that much about hpv but it is very serious...i think us who do have it feel lost, bc we cant treat it....it's like we gotta wait it out till it MIGHT leave our body. and for guys it prob. sucks even more bc they dont even have a test for it. somethin really does need to be done and i support you. email: jreamsxo@hotmail.com

Agreed. Heavensent, you are younger enough to still get the vaccine. Have considered the vaccine? Even though you already been exposed to one kind of Hpv, you can get vaccinated from others...

i agree! anyone that i have ever talked to about HPV thinks its some terrible disease... . people don't know about it, the types, and how easy it is to get it. there definitely needs to be something that can get the attention of people and educate them on what is going on out in this world. it only takes one time to get it, and then hopefully your body is strong enough to fight it...

Agreed! I personally think this virus is becoming an epidemic and eventually, it will be so common to find someone that already has it or had it...it's out there and will continue to be...

I agree that something needs to be done to get people better informed. When I was at the OB/GYN 2 years ago, she said always use a condom when having sex. In my naive mind, I thought, yeah so I don't get pregnant, never thinking my ex would've had an STD that would be passed to me. I didn't' know ANYTHING about it until I was diagnosed. People need to be educated about this more (thinking back, this was NEVER mentioned in health class 8 years ago!).
Long story short, count me in (hearte3@hotmail.com)

I honestly hadn't heard of HPV till about a year ago. How on earth could that be? I don't live a sheltered life! When I found out I had it, my doctor said, "You are not alone. Its an epidemic and millions of people have it". My response was "The Bubonic Plague was an epidemic! Epidemics AREN'T GOOD!" All I can do now is move forward, talk about it and continue to deal with the recurrences I am having. Sucks ass, but you gotta deal with it. Talk to EVERYONE about it! People have to know about it and they don't know ANYTHING!!!

    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...
