I knew very little about HPV until I became symptomatic last summer. I had just turned 39 and had an extremely painful and difficult few months dealing with it. I'm now vaccinated and see a proctologist every few months to manage minor ongoing symptoms.
Talk to your doctor about getting the vaccine if you haven't already! It's super common and can be extremely unpleasant to catch. And if you care about the AFAB partners in your lives, get the vaccine to protect them! There is no test for men to determine if they have HPV unless they are symptomatic, and you can be a carrier for years before symptoms show, if they ever do!
It also helps prevent cancer in boys and men!
I’m so sorry you had to deal with HPV, that really sucks.
Thanks. I blame the awful sex education I received growing up in the South in the US for under preparing me.
