Hi everyone this article looks promising

Hi everyone i first was diagnosed with hpv when I had an abnormal smear back in 2012, I was in a relationship with the father of my children and we are still together. I ended up having a normal pap again last year, first time since! I was soo releaved my body finally clear the virus, I never had any symptoms. Then last year I was raped and the guy(known to me) did not were a condom, it has been the hardest time in my life and the ptsd and paranoia that you get worrying about stds. I got checked multiple times since end of last year after the rape. Everything was neg but I had discharge, itching and horrible burning in my vag, anus areas. It’s still there and has been 6 months. I’ve been suicidal to say the least. I was re tested by my gyn and they tested again for hpv. My doc said I have a new high risk hpv strain detected in my body. I know it is from that guy but no way to prove. My body reacted Straigt away to it but obvs everyone thinks it’s just in my head but I have symptoms ! I’ve been suicidal over this. I have children and a partner and supportive of me I need to get over it but my god it’s so hard and my fear is he’s given me warts too. I’m just waiting for them to say yep you have warts and it terrifies me. As I’ve never had itching and burning down there and I fear it’s the beginning of warts.

Anyway I saw this article and I think this gives us all hope!! I know how much anxiety people get with hpv and I have horrible anxiety depression and ptsd over this. It’s absolutely awful. I was never suicidal until this encounter and having hpv symptoms, it’s like you don’t have your body anymore.
This article looks promising for viral resistance cells.. we may not have to live with hpv and could be an answer to soo many suffereing with horrible viral infections! And prevention of cancers etc:)
