Got my results back, all negative, felt enormous relief. Then I looked at the paperwork properly and it lists four infections. I had assumed a screen…
Everything else I have ever had was tablets. This one involved a needle in the backside and nobody explained why.
Diagnosed with both. Am I being treated twice for the same thing, since it looks like the same drug?
Treated last year. Told one of my tests will be positive for life. What do I say when a future doctor sees it and reacts?
Blood test, positive for HSV-2, and there is a number next to it that is only just above the cutoff. No symptoms ever. The nurse said…
Found them in the eyebrows. Do I use the same lotion higher up?
Positive rectal swab, negative everywhere else, and I genuinely have not had anal sex. I feel like I am being disbelieved before I even say anything.
Second night of the treatment I was given and the area is raw and sore. I cannot tell whether this is the treatment working or me…
Negative at six weeks on a lab test. I have read four weeks, six weeks, twelve weeks and ninety days in various places and I cannot…
My result names the type. Everything I read about that number is more alarming than the general HPV information.
Diagnosed last week and my cervical screening is due next month. Do I move it?
Told to repeat it but I have lost the leaflet and I cannot remember the interval.
Assumed a wart diagnosis would put me on a shorter screening interval. My clinic says no. Are they being complacent?
Had several screens over the years and never been tested for this. Was that an omission?
Sounds far fetched but a sore in the mouth was mentioned in another thread here.
The only thing in the relevant window was oral. I had assumed that was essentially safe for chlamydia.
On medication that suppresses my immune system for an unrelated condition. Does that change my HPV situation?
Diagnosed two years ago, undetectable. My partner does not have HIV. Is a pregnancy realistic without putting anyone at risk?
I need testing and I keep not booking it because of the paperwork and the conversation that follows. Has anyone found a way through this that…
Asked at my last appointment and was told it is not routinely tested. That seems like a strange omission for a sexual health service.
Skin is broken in a couple of places, one area is red, swollen and sore rather than itchy.
Single ulcer at the edge of my tongue for about five weeks. Painless. I only started worrying after reading here.
Nothing else happened. I assumed a screen was unnecessary and now I am not sure.
There are products on the shelf for warts and verrucas and they are far cheaper than a clinic. Is there a reason not to?
Saw this mentioned somewhere and could not tell whether it was a real association or internet noise.
