So I had my biopsy today. Which consisted of taking 3 different samples. I had previously been under the impression that I didn't have HPV, miscommunication, I suppose, because they told me I have it for sure today. And then they sent me packing, back into the now horridly scary, lonely world. I go back next week to see if the samples were cancerous or not. For the time being, I'm just trying to adjust to accepting I have HPV. I wrote more about it in my own journal, the whole ordeal.. How have you accepted this?..For those afflicted?.. I'm afraid of being alone forever.

I think women are just diagnosed more often. From what I've read there's no test for a man to tell whether he has it. The only way to know in a man is if he has symptoms (warts). In a woman however, it's diagnosed by pap smears. Also, women are more likely to have symptoms from std's in general than men are.
