re: Hpv and breastfeeding

Quoting *Mrz. Brianna*:“ IDK.. while pregnant i got a pap result back as having HPV. then, they did this painful test where they ... [snip!] ... sample of skin from in my vag! OWW! colposcopy or something?.. i guess before that i didnt have it, since my paps were normal..”

You could go months or even years without it showing up on a pap smear. Thats why they ask women to get checked regularly because its a virus they dont know too much about. There are over 100 HPV virus' only 4 of which will turn into Genital warts or Cervical Cancer. They dont know which of the 4 turn into which but only patients with those 4 types go on to later have warts or cancer. It takes almost 20-30 years for HPV to develop into full blown warts or cancer. Thats why they can't give me much information about it - They can't just 'test' women who have certain times of it and let it go to see what it turns into, that would be like letting someone get a disease and not taking instant action. So they have to stop it which puts a stop in the learning process about the virus. Ive NEVER had a normal papsmear(6 years)..first guy i had sex with must have given me HPV - 50% of women have some sort of HPV - whether its a contagious and harmful one is what people need to worry about. 1 out of 2 women have it! Men get absolutely no symptoms from it for years so men can have it without even knowing it and pass it to every woman they have sex with. Thats the sad part - its not like other STDs that show signs right away. it lays dormant for years!!!!!!

Most women get it from sex.

I have high grade dysplasia on my cervix - if you have HPV in your vagina you had sex and got it - if you have HPV on any other part of your body maybe...

Read the answer on that- it explains it quite well.

Like i've said i have had HPV for 6 years and know quite a bit about it
Its unfortunate that there are people out there that dont get it from sex and that there are other ways to get it...because like i said it lays dormant for years sometimes and that would be horrible to not know and not have anyway of understanding how you contracted it.

But I got HPV 6 months ago, my boyfriend left me. I had to date singles living with HPV on Positivefish.com =.
Thank god, I finally met someone!!
