Some people know about this, some people don’t. If you don’t… yeah… ignore it.
I don’t like screened responses. So in response to an asshole slamming someone that I care about I wrote:
“”In tainted inkwells” is that how you now think of your partner? Is she a tainted inkwell? Or is she a person who has had something bad happen to her because life is just like that.
It is HPV not fucking HIV. Japlady’s statistics are correct. If you are going to be so incensed over this infection then you should be mad at most of the fucking world. How do you know that you weren’t the vector of infection? You very well could be and YOU WILL NEVER KNOW because the medical community considers HPV such a non-threat that there is no test in men.
Go ahead and be angry–but if you are going to slam insults give a bit more details. Like the fact that I sincerely doubt he said “I was once exposed” seeing as I have been on the receiving end of his disclosure. Apparently there was not clear communication going on but don’t act like he is a fucking monster. How many people has he passed this infection on to? Oh how about women who WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT ANYWAY. Statistically speaking, those of us who fuck multiple people are going to have it. Period. There is no avoiding it. There is also lots of treatment and in about a year it won’t matter to the rest of her life that she has it.
What lifetime of inconvenience, annoyance, and pain? Disclosure is the only annoyance. I get the same number of check ups I would anyway. There were six months of serious suck as I dealt with it, but that is the risk that is taken in having multiple partners in a lifetime. It is not lifelong pain.
I am not saying it doesn’t suck. It does. I’m very sorry she has it and that it is a malignant strain. But quite frankly, that is how the cookie crumbles. I got it from a long-term monogamous partner who lied to me. Does that make me a bad person? Or a “tainted inkwell” or does it make me a person who had something bad happen to me.
Get off your high horse.”
*cheers* Great rant, dear.

I know you’ve probably heard this, but I was very happy recently to hear that current studies suggest that in most women HPV goes away – the infection is fought off and it’s gone, rather than sticking around forever like was thought before.
My infection was treated and I have tested negative for more than two years. It is unlikely to ever have a negative effect on my life again. At least according to multiple doctors and the cdc and…

results are still coming in on that one but yes they think that it can take like 10 years, but yes

I love your way of putting things…
and I got mine the same way… from my now ex-husband.
I tried responding to it… but decided flat out that it was a bad idea for me to do so… so I bitched and ranted and raved in my lj…
