Genital Warts Outlook

[mage lang="en" source="flickr"]Genital Warts Outlook[/mage]
Any advice from others also coping with genital warts? I’m very lonely and scared I will never find love now.

I’m a 26yr m. I have had hpv for around 3years. I contracted it from an ex gf who never told me she had hpv until after we had already been intimate many times and I got a few small warts. I’m a very outgoing person who was very sexual (always in relationships) and passionate about life but now since hpv I’ve been having difficulty maintaining that outlook on life. I have not dated since I was diagnosed and am terrified I will spread the virus and don’t know how to even voice my problem to a woman I care about for fear that she will not have hpv, nor understand. I really don’t feel it ethical to date and not be upfront with my problem. I wish to settle down however when I make a connection with a woman I feel unable to act on it and have become reclusive, lonely, and depressed. Has anyone else been in this position and worked through it? Any advice that has proven to work for them? Thank you so much for reading.

I was put in the same position via an x whom was unfaithful so I felt inclined to give you my input through experience. First of all, you are not alone. In fact recent studies have found that up to 4 out of 5 college students in certain cities has a form of herpes these days. Around 75 percent of people over 40 have a form of herpes these days. It seems like you may be alone because it is a suppressed topic of conversation. I could not blame my x because it is often undiscovered by women that they had previously contracted herpes due to the fact that it does not show up topigraphically on females but internally. It was just as shocking for her to find out as it was for me. Most people these days get tested after each intimate relationship but the problem with that is if they are not currently having an outbreak it goes undetected. Anyhow, I have had to reveal to 2 of my past girls that I had herpes which was difficult although, there was a respectful understanding and a show of respect towards them. They handled it just fine. Condoms are a must! Sex during an outbreak and 1 week after clearing should be avoided. I too when I first found out, was thinking this is the end. I have been no angel in my past believe me, and intimacy is a big factor in my life. 2 + years later, I have few outbreaks of small perportion, I take steps to suppress my outbreaks homeopathically as apposed to getting hooked on daily prescriptions which have equal affects. Stay away from peanuts & chocolate (certain foods promote outbreaks). Alot of this info is available on the web. Lysine is an herb available in pill and creams to speed the healing of outbreaks and suppress them also. I could go on and on but, after all, I have been with a girl for coming on 1.5 years now with plans to get married, she does not have it, we have a great sex life and a great life outside the intamacy. Don’t let it be an end, you are not alone, it is a nusance at times but don’t let it stop you from living life. In addition, there are, groups/websites in your community/online, that can help you through your situation, and if interested get you back into the dating scene. My best friend contracted it 20 years ago and lives a normal life. Hopefully I gave you some positive outlook. I feel as if I rambled through this. Take care and the best thing I can say is just deal with it and get back into the swing of things to put it lightly.
