makemesick Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 i dated a guy for a little over a year (it ended in april or may of 2004) and i recently found out i have HPV (the cancer-causing kind). he always had these weird problems. it seemed he always had a UTI, but doctors would confirm he didn't have one. this continued for a long time ( it started before he met me, way before). he finally got tested for std's and came back negative on all of them. he had been with 5 girls before me, don't know much more than that. i know he never cheated on me. he had his prostate tested also, and still nothing was found. he had horrible "bathroom" problems too, and nothing was found there either. yuck. i don't miss him at all. i know there is no test for HPV in males, and i wondered if, along with these symptoms, it was possible that he had HPV and if he's the one i got it from. i know it can take a long time to "come out", that it can be dormant for years, i could have gotten it from anyone. but his symptoms really make me wonder now. it isn't helping that i am so ashamed of ever having been with him (he never did anything bad to me, it's just one of those "how did i lower my standards to be with such a loser, i wish i could get amnesia for that sad part of my life" kind of thing). so...do you think it sounds like he's the one i may have gotten it from? i have heard that most guys have it without ever having symptoms...but CAN they have symptoms? god, he makes me sick--maybe even literally.

makemesick Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 my cells are already precancerous, actually. and i am aware of what i have to do, and i have been tested for everything else also. i wasn't really looking for advice on what to do next--this stuff i already know. i just wanted to know if men EVER get symptoms of hpv and if he could have been the one who gave it to me. i'm not concerned about his past history. thanks for responding.
