Hpv genital warts from partner need advice?

I got diagnosed with Hpv Genital warts 4 days ago. I found out by a dermatologist who was going to freeze off my supposely skin tags. One look and he told me they were not skin tags but genital warts. While he was freezing them away I couldn't hold my tears back I was very emotional because I have had only one partner my whole life for the past 3 years. This time he gave me this. He no longer has a phone for me to reach him so I go through his friends to tell him it is an emergency which is so lame! But anyways he finally calls me and when I tell him he wasn't too surprised but told me to set up and appointment together which I did. He said he would call me back and still hasn't! I actually want to take him to a urologist so they can run a full std screen so I haven't caught anything else. Now I don't know why he is shutting me out %26amp; I want to know if it is a bad idea to call his brother just to speak to my bf! Can I also have another sexual partner in my life or will I spread it?

Once you have it you have it for life. Yes, you can spread it to


others when you have an outbreak. You need to see your


obgyn and talk to him/her. Hpv can cause cervical cancer.


You need to take care of yourself, don't worry about him. You


are the victim. I've worked in healthcare for years, it's important


you take care of yourself. Don't call his brother, you are the one


suffering. Best of luck to you.
Reply:There is no cure for genital herpes. After the primary outbreak, some people have just a few recurrent outbreaks over their lifetime, while others may have 4 to 6 outbreaks a year. Recurrent outbreaks are more likely if the cause is HSV-2 and generally are less severe and heal more quickly than the primary outbreak. Usually the number of outbreaks decreases after several years. While genital herpes is bothersome and may cause emotional distress, it usually does not cause serious health problems in otherwise healthy adults.





To reduce the risk of recurrent outbreaks:





Eat a balanced diet, get enough rest, and exercise. These healthy habits may reduce the number and severity of herpes outbreaks.





Reduce factors that trigger outbreaks, such as overexposure to sun, fatigue, irritation of the genital area, and stress.





Finding out that you have genital herpes may cause you to have negative thoughts or feelings about yourself or about sex, such as:





Feeling ashamed or embarrassed.


Being afraid of the consequences of the infection.


Being angry at the person who infected you.


Feeling frustrated with treatment or recurrent outbreaks.


Feeling scared to have sex.
Reply:Maya, HPV and HSV are not the same thing.
