I found out I had HPV shortly after having my son back in Sept of 2010. My doctor said it would go away on it's own, that my immune system will take care of it. 7 months later, when I went back for my pap, I was still HPV positive. I go back again in Jan of 2012 for another test. I have only had unprotected sex with my husband and my ex-boyfriend from several years ago. When my husband was still my boyfriend, we broke up for a short time and I went back to my ex and that was the first time I had unprotected sex. Unfortunately the next day I found out, from him, that he had been the 11th person to have unprotected sex with another girl that week. 1 girl and 11 different guys in one week? And he thought it was cool so he jumped on (literally and figuratively). I was so appalled that I immediately walked the 4 miles back to the guy I had been with (now my husband) and told him what had happened. Neither of us had insurance at the time so I was unable to get tested.
When we found out I was pregnant 2 years later and had a pap it came back perfect. All through out my pregnancy it was perfect. It wasn't until after my son was born that my pap came back HPV positive and it through me into a horrible depression for quite a while, then I got used to it, then got tested again and again it came back positive and threw me for a major loop. My only solace was our little miracle baby. Because my husband has epilepsy and has to take anti-seizure medication we all thought he was sterile. We never thought we could have a baby. Our little miracle.
I read through all of the other posts but wasn't sure if I got my answer from them or not so I'm just wondering if my husband and I can keep passing it back and forth, so to speak. My doctor had told me that men can't actually get HPV, can only be 'carriers', unless its the genital warts kind, so he hasn't been tested. Is it possible that he keeps giving it to me or something? It has caused a significant decrease in out sexual activity because I feel like my ex 'ruined' me, like I'm tainted, like as long as this is in my body so is a part of my ex. I hate it. I want it to go away. I NEED it to go away. I need 'HIM' to go away.
How do I make it go away? Do I have to stop having sex with my husband? If it doesn't go away, how long before it turns into cancer? If it turns into cancer will I still be able to have children now that we know we can? I've done so much research and gotten so many mixed answers, it's driving me crazy. My doctor is 200 miles away and I can't just call her and ask her these things and it's been so frustrating for me to just sit here and wait until Jan to ask her. Please, any answers at all would be most appreciated.
