need some advise

hi i was researching mild dysplasia and i found this page. lasy year i was diagnosed with it as well and i recently went back for my 6 month check up in dec. and it hasnt changed, im 20 years old and scared. not to mention ive recently been dating my boyfriend for about 3 months and i have not told him.

i need some advise should i tell him or wait till later because the last thing i want him to do is look at me in a bad way.

Hi there !

First of all u dont need to worry to much about u mild dysplasia, u are young and mostly the mild dysplasia go away without treatment, but is important to repeat pap smears evrey 3 or 6 months !

U doctor make a hpv test ?Is important if u are hpv positive or hpv negative , because from what i understand if u still hpv positive u can infect u partner also.Anyway the hpv clear between 6 months and 2 years , u are young and i assume u clear faster !

About u boy friend i honestly dont know what advice to give u, i think is u choice!But i will want to know if i was in the place of him !

About 80 % of people will be infected with hpv in the life of them, i dont think is something to be ashame !

Now depends also about u boy friend, maybe he will understand or maybe not !I read on difrent forums about boys or girls runing  away when they find out the partner of them they have hpv , which i think is really stupid !

My boy friend he didnt run when he find out, he is near me, he also come with me to the gynecology office ..., but this is my case !

Wish i had more answer for u but unfortanly i dont !

Wish u the best!

Your boyfriend has probably already been exposed. He may have been exposed before he met you. HPV is frighteningly common, and it's usually women who develop infections, after prolonged exposure. This is why we need the medication proving successful in clinical trial made available to us sooner. For example, MVA E2 proved successful in clinical trials in 2004. Instead of making that, along with some of the others, available to us, what do we get, instead? The cone biopsy excisor (CBE)! A new way to cut if off that won't even improve the odds! If your boyfriend could develop penile abnormalities as easily as women develop cervical abnormalities, I'm sure the medication would be available, by now. What I'm ultimately saying is that he's not at risk the way you are. 

Right now, there is a lot you can do to boost your immune system so that your body's immune system will be strong, again, to clear up the infection. I'll give you links with some information.

Tany01 and Chemiszt24 used alternative medicine to clear up dysplasia.

There is also the cervical_dysplasia group onYahoo. The woman who set up the group worked with a naturopathic doctor she found, after she read about Dr. Tori Hudson's work.

I do recommend getting tested to see which HPV strain you have. Roche has AMPLICOR, which is an HVP DNA test. However, you may have to pay for it yourself. Or your doctor may not have it because it's so new and insurance companies don't want to pay for it. Or the doctor may have it and can't offer it unless your ask for it. Or you may have to go to a teaching hospital to have it done. Digene is currently all that is available, but it will only tell you if you have an HPV infection. It won't tell you which strain you have. I read some nonesense about how knowing which strain a woman has been exposed to willl cause unnecessary colposcopies. I just rolled my eyes in disgust. If a PAP smear comes back as abnormal, the doctor is going to have to do one, regardless.
