A few weeks ago i was told i have hpv I was confused because my last pap showed no signs. I have been in a relationship for 3 and half years and during that time found my partner cheating on me. Im not sure how many times. After my colposcopy last week i was brought in today to go over my results and i have dysplasia i dont know if that cheating caused it???? im so confused please help?? did my partner give this to me. I only ask because i had normal paps before this.

Hello.. I am currently waiting to have the LEEP procedure done for my newly diagnosed Severe Dysplacia.. which I received after having my 2nd colposcopy (almost 3 years after my first one which showed no dysplacia and had been followed by all normal paps until now when I find out it is severe!) I cried when I found out but have had a few older friends reveal to me that they had to have it done as well when they were in their 20's and now they all have children and are perfectly fine. Hundreds of thousands of women go through this every year and the procedure takes care of it. So don't worry dear one. We are gonna be ok.

That being said, the problem with HPV and abnormal cells is that it can take years to actually show itself, even if you have had normal paps, so it is not absolutely certain that he gave it to you. However, 3 years with the same man is a long time and the sad truth is, if you didn't stray,(meaning you had NO sexual contact with anyone other than your boyfriend.. including oral because HPV can be passed through more than just intercourse) and he did, most likely he did pass it on to you. But again, that is not 100%. If you had sexual partners before him it is possible that one of them gave it to you and it has just now surfaced, but it is less likely.

One of my professors was an original creator of Guardasil and she revealed to us that the reason she was so passionate about this was because a close friend of hers had been married for ten years, well the woman's husband went astray and the woman he cheated on her with had a strain of HPV that was high risk for cervical cancer, he passed this on to his wife and she died within a couple of years of cervical cancer because she hadn't caught it in time, as did the woman he had cheated on her with. I'm not saying that to scare you. The good news is, you HAVE caught it early and the doctors will do their best to get rid of it. 90-95 % of women have it cured with the first procedure! (The dysplacia cells that is, even if you have normal paps from now on, you will always carry the HPV virus and be able to pass it on.. which sucks) So don't worry.. but you should tell your boyfriend about this.. because he is infected with HPV as well. What really sucks is that there is no real way to test men for it unless they have a strain that causes genital warts. Otherwise, they may never know and just continue to pass it on.. (thus, why 85% of women have the HPV virus by age 50. 85%!!!!) Feel free to verify all this info with a doctor. That's where I got all of my information.. Good luck to you! Well, good luck to both of us!
