HPV, Cervical Cancer and the Sex Addict

lynda,
I had HPV as well, was found after I met my SA husband of course. Always had clear paps till then. Of course they always assume that your husband of course was not unfaithful; they always put the question on you in that have you had other sex partners; never mind the fact your husband could be a cheater. Just like when you go in complaining of prblems, and they ask if you had any new sex partners, its like they check off the list “must not be and STD because she has not had sex with anyone else”. Why do they assume the husband is faithfull. They need to get their heads examined.

Anyway. My biopsies came back the same. I researched that taking folic acid can help regenrate healthy cells faster. So I took that route, and the bad cells slowly went away, and my cervical tests are clear now.

My sister as well. Had a BF in college, i am guessing was a sex addict, he gave her HPV. She still has nagging female problems and it has been almost 8 years since she dated him.

What sucks is we have this forever, we can pass it on.

After d-day I immediately went to the OBG to get tested for every.single.thing he may have given me from his numerous hookers. My pap did come back abnormal, but after testing again I was clear of the HPV. I have, however, had many infections since being with my SA; mostly bacterial vaginosis, and another infection that was explained to me as “E-Coli of the vagina”. I’d never had a vaginal infection before being with my SA, and since I’ve never had anal sex, and always wipe front to back {lol} I have no idea how E Coli would have gotten in that spot, if not for my hooker loving SA…
I have to get re-tested for everything again though, as he has done more things since the initial d-day. I am scared.

Hi, I have HPV which I almost definitely got from my addict BF…(because I had never screened positive for it previously) There are 100s of strains and something like 80% of the population has some form of it, but some strains pose no danger for cervical cancer and some do. On top of that, it is difficult to test for in men. Our test is a pap smear (which we all should be getting at least once a year); I believe the male test requires amputation of the penis. (if only).
Unless its the type that produces warts, there are no symptoms in the male or female.

Now… LYNDA… I did not have any abnormal cells, but I require testing every SIX MONTHS. So, please double check with your doctor. It seems to me if you’ve had to have shit scraped off, that once a year is not often enough to be checked. The folic acid sounds like a good idea and someone told me that she drank coconut water for a while and now she is free of HPV. It often can go into remission on its own, but it can come back. So, we all need to take good care of ourselves.

It is so common that is extremely likely that we ALL have it.

Oh… VERY IMPORTANT. It is passed skin to skin. A condom does almost nothing to stop the transmission.

Sex, anyone? :((

Just wanted to revive this because it’s so scary what these guys can pass on to us… In addition to all the mental stress

I wanted to ask your opinions on this. I have had cervical cancer twice. I found out the first time after getting back from our honeymoon. That time I had cryosurgery to freeze it. We had been sexually active for nine months prior and I had not had sex with anyone else at least a year before. Then about 12 years later I got it again. This time I had to have the Leeps procedure – more aggressive. Do you think I got both of these from my husband? Could the second time have been from another exposure from him screwing around on me or from the first time I had it. He denies it giving it to me. I developed herpes about 12 years ago (we have been married now for 28 years). He told me he had herpes in college (of which he never told me about). Seems like I would have gotten herpes sooner into our marriage.
