Yesterday i had gotten my pap results in and on the letter it had told me to call in... so i called and the doctor told me i have HPV, and me being 16 years old, i was more than shocked!! Im still very very very shocked! I don't really remember what exactly she told me, all she said is I had a very low count for HPV, i do ecpect that i have caught it about a year ago... She also told me i wouldn't have to worry about cancers but in the far far future possibly warts, but it was most unlikely that i would have any symptoms (which i was very glad about that) But she did say that i was now a carrier of HPV. That is what scared me very badly... my parents don't know and i plan on keeping it a secret until i feel they are ready for it... i know NO parent wants to hear there child has HPV, but my parents believe that i am a virgin, so that makes it worse.... I plan on calling my doctor back tomorrow to ask her more about HPV and what type i have... but im concerned about when i want to start a family, i fall in love with a guy and he falls in love with me and then i have to break the news i have HPV, im sure he will drop me like a hot rock after that. What am i supposed to do... and do i need to worry about giving it to my mother or father off the tub or toilet? I really hate that i am at such a young age and feel like my world is going to end... but i hope some one can answer a few of my questions and give me a few tips and help me out a little bit.... Thank You very much... :)
