Thread: Just found out I'm HPV Positive & scared

Welcome to the Forum jcee.

Firstly, Cervical Cancer, level 2, means he just has to monitor it for you.. If it gets worse, usually it's a case of burning off the bad cells, which can be done in a doctors surgery. Usually to ascertain it comes from a pap smear and if they are abnormal, then a bi-opsy, and from there the burning off of the cells.

HPV can occur as far back as 10 years ago and it is transferred sexually but can stay dormant. So, you could have had this from someone at any time, it's just showing now but it can't be cured. Did you obtain HPV genital warts? There are a variety of forms of HPV.

If you obtained gential warts then no, you shouldn't be having sex with your partner, when they are notable without a condom as you can give them to him..

The thing to understand, unfortunately it is common and like I said, it could have happened at any time, from one of your previous partners, I don't know if you want to go down the path of letter the father of your child know, as he may have been the carrier or if you were, you may have given it to him...

HPV can not be cured but it can be kept at bay. Stress is a large factor of what appears to bring it on, so maybe you've been very stressed since the birth of your baby, break up I assume with the Father and caring for your child at a young age...

I think your Doctor was just stating, cervical cancer is treated quite easily these days, warts are warts and you can live with them..

Definately could have been a lot worse.
