Undetectable for four years on tablets. Clinic mentioned injectable treatment every two months. Tempted, but nervous about giving up something that works.
Positive rectal swab. Nothing at all in the way of symptoms and I would never have known. Slightly unnerved by how close I came to never…
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…
Trying to work out how paranoid to be about the flat.
Finished the course. Discharge improved, the smell has not. Do I need retreating?
Diagnosed with secondary syphilis last month. Now losing hair in odd irregular patches. Is that connected or is this stress?
Result came back marked reactive and I have been staring at that word for an hour trying to work out whether it means positive or not.
Diagnosed at twenty weeks. Told it is treatable and not told much else.
My result names the type. Everything I read about that number is more alarming than the general HPV information.
Diagnosed five months ago and I have had something every single month. Everything I read says they become less frequent. Mine are not.
Found at a routine antenatal test. Told the usual treatment is not used in pregnancy. What happens instead, and is the alternative as good?
Diagnosed last week and my cervical screening is due next month. Do I move it?
Found at the opening and apparently extending inside. Told this needs a different approach. What does that actually involve?
Bleeding after sex for a couple of months. HPV positive on my last screen. Are these connected?
Treated a week ago and the rash has faded. Does that mean I am safe to have sex again?
Negative screen last week. Does that cover me from now on, or only up to a certain point in the past?
Offered both and told to think about it. I have no framework for thinking about it.
Diagnosed yesterday. Feeling like I should be quarantining and aware that might be ridiculous.
Sixty two, diagnosed last week, and every piece of information I find seems to be written for women in their twenties.
Dull ache on one side, started a few days after the last tablet. Treatment finished so I assumed this was over.
Topical treatments have failed twice. Surgery has been raised. I would like to hear from someone who has actually had it.
Routine blood test for something else. Results suggest previous infection, treated at some point. I have no memory of any of this.
Everything on offer treats what the virus has done. Is there genuinely nothing that targets the virus?
Physically I am fine. Medication is working, numbers are good. I am not fine in any other sense and nobody at the clinic has asked.
