There are treatments for it and I suggest very strongly that you see a doctor and do not have any sexual contact with anyone. Men do catch HPV and spread it by having more partners.
(((Rhiannonsmoon))) I'm an educated lady....I do have two degrees and I study a lot.....I know HPV is an STD and it's contagious.....if you have read my other threads you will find out how much I was devastated to found out about it and I've been going to doctor.....there is not test for guys....I check with my doctor in regular basis....and they believe the body immune system will get rid of the virus, but they don't know how and when....and I didn't have sex since I found out about it.....However, having sex with condom is still consider safe.....

Plus, there is no treatment for it....about 80% of population have it in one point of their lives, but mostly they don't know and the body immune system is getting rid of it without the person finding out about the virus even.....however, there is a DNA testing and I took the test that's how I found out....there are 130 different types, but few of them consider as high risks.....

I feel like a crap right now......just want to cry....I didn't even have that many sexual partner and I was always in a relationship, but this is hunting me back.....yes, that's one of the reasons I don't want to be in any relationships.....and it's shameful, I can't talk about it.....some doctors believe that HPV is being over rated....Just recently on the news they announced that there is no need for too much screening because of the virus....they said they put women in too much stress for no reason.....I don't know how much I can trust doctors anymore....but I have done my own research and I found out some women reported that their immune system got rid of the virus....and some had cell changes which has been removed.....

for more info, here is a link http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/common-questions.htm

anyway....today is not a good day for me....feeling so sad.....
