Hey, I really appreciate all the info y'all have given me regarding my situation, all the information has helped relax my mind in so many ways.
I went to the doctor today to discuss whats going on. Turns out I do have HPV, just one of those strands that could cause cancer out of the other 100 plus that don't, he said about 7 or 8 do and its pretty rare to get them and have a full blown case of cancer cells develope. However he did tell me that this strand in no way at all causes warts or anything of that nature, and once I've beaten it I won't ever have to worry about it again.
He said that guys don't have any signs or symptoms of it at all and that it is impossible to know whom passed what to whom and roughly 1 in 2 people have it or more and that about 70% of sexually active people have it, many without knowing such as myself.
He said my immune system should clear it up on its own but if not then I'll get a LEETprocedure where they manually remove the bad cells if necessary, the down side is that after my procedure I have to get four paps for the next year to be certain everything has cleared up and all is well with Vagina World.
Going to tell my partner tonight.
My main cause for concern was the whole warts thing, but since he cleared that up for me that eased my mind the most because I would feel so bad if I gave something like that to someone I cared about. He said I don't have any and won't develope any from this, so that is VERY good news.
My procedure shouldn't be too bad since he explained everything thoroughly to me, and that makes me feel better.
Thanks again all.
