[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. From first guy I ever slept with. In college.  I struggled for many years with various forms of treatment but they would always come back (even though I broke up wit the guy who gave them to me.) Within 5 years I had bad pap smears from a known cancer causing strain.

I had to have expensive and painful laser surgery yo finally get rid of them (as did my partner at the time - hard to tell if he for them from me or already had them).

I did finally get rid of them, and have had clean paps for years, but if has made me unwilling to have non-monogamous sex, plus I insist on condom use for STI safety.   Some partners have been respectful of my conditions for consensual sex, some have not.

One of my close male friends had a bout with throat cancer caused by HPV.

I know many people treat HPV very casually, but that has not been my experience. [/quote]

Did you have warts? And did you have abnormal pap smears as a result? Or did you have no warts?

I know there are high risk strains that cause cancer and give abnormal paps. And there are non high risk strains that cause warts. What I am confused about is, are there low risk strains that cause warts AND give you abnormal pap smears? Or is it only the high risk strains that cause abnormal paps?[/quote]

FYI the strain that causes warts is different from the strains that cause cancer. Then there are other strands that don't cause anything.[/quote]
