I'm so confuse, ashamed, I feel like an idiot. My story is that I hooked up with a guy, not long after that and started dating a new guy, I was having issues downstairs. We figured it was a yeast infection, took antibiotics, then had a bladder infection or kidney (they never did give me a straight answer on that) went back on antibiotics. Still having issues, mostly when I wipe, I bleed a little and it feels very raw down there. Went in finally for a pap and got my results a little over a week later. They said my cells on the cervix came back normal, no infection, but I was positive for HPV. I was floored and begged to have more information and advice. When did I get it?? What now? I don't undertand, I had the vaccine a couple of years ago! I've never had my tests come back positive. My cells have been abnormal from time to time but not always and no one has ever said to worry about it. All the nurse could tell me was that there was nothing I can do, it was so common everyone gets it at least once and all we can do is have you do regular yearly paps (I was doing that already!) I'm afraid of talking to my boyfriend (the 2nd guy I started dating) What does this all mean? Am I going to have cancer? Am I able to have children? I need answers..please...
