I'm sorry, too. If I could get rid of just one, it'd be anxiety. Although, if I got rid of that, I'd not be having anxiety induced break outs so win win.
My last biopsy said 6 and 11 so I don't know if it was a generic test for either/or or if it detected both. Not sure how that'd happen from a single lesion.
My wife, whom I am separated from, never had abnormal cells until after we had unprotected sex after we got married and she had 16 and/or 18. I can't remember if it was either or both. Long story short, I either have 2 or 4 strains. Regardless, they're all covered by the vaccine, thankfully.
My partner seems uninfected from the past, and got vaccinated just so we could ditch the condoms. That sounds great to me, but want to make sure I'm being cool with her sexual health first and foremost.
Luckily for me, honesty about having fairly severe general anxiety and HPV doesn't seem to be scaring away quality ladies so that's good. Still, I'm about ready to join a monastery and just meditate the rest of my life. Thanks for helping me out! Your genuine and helpful nature are a blessing.
I can't find it now, but I remember reading two weeks as well.
What strain do you have? Do you know? Is it one that's protected by Gardasil? Since you just had an breakout, I'd maybe wait a few more weeks.
Dave, I am really sorry you deal with this. It seems just really unfair. :(
