How long have I had this? Trying to work out who to tell
Positive result and no symptoms ever. I have no idea whether this is weeks old or years old, and the partner notification conversation depends on it.

Routine test in the spring was clear. Positive now. Trying to make sense of the window.
Had a full panel done because a new partner asked, and HSV-1 came back positive. I have never had a cold sore or anything genital that…
Two rounds of treatment a week apart and I am still itching. I cannot tell any more whether I still have them or whether I am…
Newly diagnosed. I have read that life expectancy is near normal and I cannot tell whether that is true or whether it is what people say…
I have throat gonorrhoea. He has been tested at every site and is negative. One of us is confused and I think it might be both…
Cleared on my last two screens. Partner asked whether he could still catch it from me and I did not have an answer.
Assumed a wart diagnosis would put me on a shorter screening interval. My clinic says no. Are they being complacent?
Bleeding after sex for a couple of months. HPV positive on my last screen. Are these connected?
Assumed removing them would make me less contagious, then read something suggesting treatment is cosmetic. Which is it?
Diagnosed and asked how far back my partners go. I gave the recent ones and then realised I did not know what period they actually needed.
Happened last night. I am spiralling a bit and I cannot work out what is urgent and what can wait until the morning.
Together two years, I have HSV-2, he tests negative every time. We use condoms most of the time but not always. Is he just lucky?

Been spotting mid cycle for a few weeks. Started around the time I tested positive. Related, or am I connecting two unrelated things?
Two weeks ago something happened that I regret, and I want to get tested, but every page I read gives a different number of days. Some…
Letter said abnormal cells and high risk HPV detected, referred for colposcopy in three weeks. I have read the leaflet four times and I still feel…
Diagnosed on Tuesday. I have a first appointment with a specialist team next week. Right now my head is full of things I absorbed years ago…
Positive at two sites, treated. Told to come back. Unclear whether everything gets repeated.
Had several screens over the years and never been tested for this. Was that an omission?
Everything I read about anal HPV is aimed at men who have sex with men. Does it apply to me at all?
Wart gone, but the skin there is noticeably lighter than the rest. Is that permanent?
Sounds far fetched but a sore in the mouth was mentioned in another thread here.
Went in for a routine check, asked for all sites to be swabbed because a friend told me to, and the throat one came back positive.…
