I just wanted to pipe up with thank you for you ladies here. I found this thread just before my annual exam this past week and despite my fears of having a diagnosis of aggressive HPV or, worse, cancer in my medical chart, I went ahead and asked for the test. There is a very good chance that I was exposed to it, so I should not have waited so long, and I must say, embarrassingly, I was too fearful to walk in and have myself tested (FYI, I haven't had any sexual contact since). Somehow, though I'd done my research on this previously, it was this thread that brought me to terms with having myself tested. I was able to walk in and ask for the test with true confidence and though I have to wait a little while for the results, I'm not feeling any sort of panic.

Anyway, my point is that while I know I'm not incredibly active here, I do read often and you gals get credit for giving me the confidence to ask for this test. You ladies are dealing with it and dealing with it very well. I think that's what I needed to see.
