i was recently informed i have HPV high-risk that can form cancer in the cervix?

now i was reading about this online which said its sexually transmitted i have been with my boyfriend for years..should i blame him.

Answers:
HPV is "essentially a STD"..(Sexually transmitted disease)

NON SEXUAL ACQUISITION IS "UNKNOWN"

ref:-Davidson's "PRINCIPLE&PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, 19th edition pg 105)

So it is acquired ONLY BY sexual contact..

My advice is rather than blamimg from whom got the infection it will be better to ask your doctor that which "SEROTYPE" of HPV has infected you.

If you are infected by type 6,type 11.u have risk of WARTS.easily treatable with chemical cuaterisation

BUT if you are infected by HPV serotype "16 & 18" there is future risk of developing CANCER CERVIX..so u need yearly folloup for simple test called "PAP SMEAR" as this cancer develops gradually and if diagnosed earlier by pap smear has "100% CURE"

Be cautious.

Donn know on what basis people are wrighting that HPV is present otherwise in many people as
"carrier" ??

No! Consult you'r OB/GYN she will be able to explain it to you.
Were you with anyone prior to your boyfriend? The HPV doesn't always show up immediately, you could have had it for awhile now. If, these possibilities aren't how you contracted it, then I would definitely be talking to my boyfriend about it. Actually a majority of the population has some form of HPV but not everyone gets the form you have. Sorry to hear and good luck to you in the future.
You may have had it for years, you might have also given it to him.
Did you have a boyfriend before him?
it's not worth figuring out who gave it to whom, since if either of you were sexually active before you were dating you could have contracted it then. Make sure you get regular pap smears and get the warts removed as they pop up.
You or he could've been exposed to it years ago before you were together. There's no way to tell when you got it or who gave it to who.
The majority of us will be a carrier of one strain or another of HPV (warts). Warts on your genitalia are exactly the same as warts on your fingers or on your hands or any other part of your body. They can just appear for no reason. They are treatable. It is true that there is a link between SOME types of HPV and cancer but not all. If you are concerned then visit your GP or local GU clinic. It is also advisable your boyfriend does the same but do not blame him.
HPV can lie dormaint in a person for years without ever being detected. I know this because I was diagnosed with it when I was 21 and it happened when I was raped at 16--very frustrating but after successful treatment the HPV was cured. Sometimes HPV can clear up on its own but it needs to be watched so get your pap's done as necessary (as ordered by your doctor) and don't "blame" your boyfriend, just talk to him about it.
That kind of thing can go undetected for years. Did you know that 1 in 3 sexually active people have HPV (maybe more now, it was a while ago when I checked the stats). The kind that you have (and I have too) causes virtually nothing to happen to men, but can cause cervical cancer in women. Did they JUST catch it now, even though you've been having pap smears regularly? Or have you not had a pap in a while? If you have had them regularly, and they have always been testing you for HPV, and you just came back positive for it now, I'd be a little suspicious. But you need to talk to your doctor more. Don't worry though - the chances that you'll get cervical cancer now that they've found the abnormal cells and can treat them, is rare. Good luck.
No you shouldn't blame him, unless he has been the only person you have been sexually active with. HPV takes up to three years to show up on a test, so if he is not the only one, I would forget about blaming anyone.

P.S. Drink plenty of green tee, take a good supplement of betacarote and vitamin E. This will help your immune system control the free radicals that can turn into cancer.
No you shouldn't. It can be dormant for years. Just a few weeks ago I was reading an article about kids who are found with this and how it used to be assumed that they were being molested. Now they say that it may be possible to get this from someone touching an infected area and then a sink or whatever (they used a public bathroom as an example) Try not to stress about it and just make sure you get regular pap smears.
see a doctor to finalise it
Not necessarily. HPV is silent, and shows no symptoms (unless it's the variety of HPV that causes genital warts). It sounds like you have the kind I do.the kind that can cause cervical cancer. Don't necessarily blame your boyfriend. Many women and men who have the kind of HPV that we do never know until it's too late (cervical cancer). That's why pap smears every year are important. You could have had this for 8 or 9 years and just never knew until now.
