There is no test for it even thoug it is an std
Which is an upsetting situation when you though your sex life was safe.
Any experiences, exposure to a situation where you met someone?

Nope. I s'pose I got lucky when I was young. I've been a serial monogamist for the past 28 years, and I'm with "the one" for almost six years now. I AM SAFE.

Neverhad an std even thou I have had unprotected fun lots of times and got any one pregnant:-)

That rubber sex doll is sounding better every minute...

This is the vaccin they came up with about 10 years ago, right? I remember my daughter getting notification, she was around 14 at the time. I thought it was said vaccination was pointless for adults, only teenage girls got notification. Then there was a lot of to-do around it and many chose to not get it. Now there's proof that many of the girls who did get the shot have problems, I believe mostly infertility?
That's this one, isn't it?

In any case... touch can pass on the virus? Wouldn't that mean you could even get it from anyone, like your aunt kissing you on the cheek when she visits? Isn't it the case that yes, it is found in tears/saliva, but in very tiny amounts? I believe that is the case with some other STDs too? Or Hepatitis (c?)
Gosh, my medical knowledge is really down the drain, haha. So not asking questions to question you. Just that you seem to know all the ins and outs of this.

Was all the hoopla over sex ed in school pointless?
The only safe sex is abstinence.
Anything else simply reduces the risk for STD's or pregnancy. Not completely remove them.
I knew a woman that had tubal ligation done that got pregnant by a guy who had a vasectomy. They already had 5 kids and didn't want more. Condoms fail, some doctors got C's, body chemistry and structure changes, it's a dirty world.

People like to believe they live in a sterile bubble. They bathe with perfumed soaps, they wash their clothes, they disinfect their homes, they carry hand sanitizer, whatever.

It's an illusion for a false sense of security. At any point in time you have fecal matter floating through the air. You have bacteria, and microscopic flora and fauna ranging all over you, inside your gut, your mouth, outside on your skin.

It seems a lot of people don't understand that they're constantly "sick," just not to the point where it significantly influences their life negatively.
Symptoms of sickness are simply when the immune system has to work harder than normal to kill and/or expel something.

Your immune system is constantly fighting something. It's always on.
It's not dormant and then something out of the ordinary happens, it turns on, then you get sick trying to fight whatever it is.
It's always on. It's always working. You are always under attack by something you've come into contact with and/or is trying to live in/on you.


IME being aware they have an STD form of HPV causing things like genital warts tends to either create massive insecurities, esteem, and trust issue problems, or people hide behind it to manipulate control of relationships.

IME with meeting people with an STD form of HPV they've always allowed the label/stigma to define them, one way or another. Many times while demanding people don't define them by the label.

I don't know if I've ever known or been with someone who hasn't known they had an STD type of HPV.


If you've ever gotten a wart on your finger, or foot, you've been infected by HPV.

As was said there are at least 100 types of HPV.

Not all lead to genital warts.
Not all lead to cancer.


Any skin to skin contact can potentially spread some type of HPV.

This has been out since I was younger and told I had it ... and should go home and talk to my x ... I was not having personal relations with anyone else ... and I know where they got it ... I came out alright ... but they did not have the vaccine back then ... now hard to tell lots of side effects come with it... hard choice ... but be safe and if you want to heal ... I am with others safe sex ...this is what condoms are for to help with not catching something ... know not always full proof but better then nothing or obscenity ...

Jesus Christ, you couldn’t make it up.

I miss these for their first posts lmao

I didn’t notice it was his first post. I suppose he doesn’t realise how it all works.

Hello. Does anyone want to be my girlfriend?
