This club is having the same problem as the
others. People seem to not want to fill out their
profiles!! Whats the deal?? If you think someone will
recognize you I don't think that's realistic. If you
do....set up a second e-mail adress just for this. It only
takes a few minutes. If we don't know how old each of
us are or have no e-mail to contact ....then what's
the point of all this???

Hey Fire, I am female, but not sure if one strain
of HPV is more dangerous than any other? anyone
know? I have only had two, teeny,tiny small ones doc
burned off, but he told me to get my butt back there
pronto, if I found anymore! I think they can lead to
cervical cancer, but again I am NOT 100% certain!!! take
care and remember life rocks on! smile! Rock:)

Just wanted to say HI! Youric invited me to join
and I was happy to do so. First, diagnosed with HSV
in Nov. 98, then six months later found two, teeny,
tiny, bumps doc said were HPV! Geez, name your poison
huh? IMAO!!!!! Anyway, he burned them off and as far
as I can tell, have not had any reoccurences of the
HPV! Been OB free with the HSV most of this first
year! YES!!!! Was on acyclovir when first diagnosed
with HSV, kept having small OB's, but switched to
Valtrex in March and have been clean ever since! So, yes,
fiveminutemile, there is a God!!!! Hope ya'll had a good turkey
day and remember life Rocks on! Keep on smiling! Have
a good week! Rock:)

Hey people. See we got some ladies now; I guess
there IS a God!!! Welcome fire and water. Ever been to
Orlando??? Guess things are still kinda slow. I don't know
anything about the internet so I don't know how to spread
the news about this club. I'm sure there is a way.
Youric, hang in there, it will pick up. When I joined the
other HPV club it had only about 30 or so members. Now
it has seceral hundred!!

Hey eveyone who views this page. I am looking at
the board and seeing nothing but posts from me. If
anyone wants to post anything at all please do . The
most comforthing thing is to know that I am not in
this alone. Anyone want to share anything please do.
<br> <br>Me

Hi, I'm not in Central Florida, but I was asked
to look at this club and join if I liked. I recently
moved to Miami from Tennessee and since have discovered
Yahoo and these clubs. Before then I had never talked
to anyone else with HPV and though I knew it was a
common disease, never met anyone with it. It has been
wonderful talking to<br>others now and I hope that anyone
who would like to chat will please feel free to do
so. I do have one question at this time if anyone
knows the answer. I realize there are quite a few
strains of HPV, some more dangerous for women than
others, can you get more than one strain?

Last post I put out I was walking on air. I had
found a marrage material woman, Dated her, and finnaly
told her about my hpv. She had the same problem. I was
all jazzed walking on air. My biggest hangup magicly
lifted off of my shoulders I guess I was way to enthused
about it all. Tonight BANG "cant we be friends, and its
not you its me" excuse me while i scrape my heart off
of the celing with a spachala. The sad thing that I
know relize it hpv isnt my bigest obsticle in a
relationship. any advice feel free. Im going to get up shake it
off and go to work today. keep the faith cause im
tryin

I told her tonight. I have been seeing a girl I
think is the bomb. I dont want to go on about her
because I want to cut to the chase. We met for drinks and
talkin, we went to a quiet place by a lake and sat on a
bench. My intention was to cuddel and make out some. She
knew I had a secret and I told her I would tell her
when she knew me better. Tonight she dug and would not
let go. When I saw it was fruitless to evade her I
broke the news. It was very hard for me I didnt keep it
together very well because she is the best thing that has
happend to me in the last year. I so liked what little
time I spent with her so much that I did not want to
risk losing it. I told her and she told me, she has
the same thing. This was the first time I have told
anyone from in my life other than the puter the truth.
It ended up o.k. We are still going to see
eachother. And nothing has changed other than we have shared
with eachother our deepest darkest secrets. I am
haveing lunch with her tomorrow and we are going to do
some shoppin. whhhooooaaaaa

wanted to post just to put somthing on the board.
Sad the club has been dead last few days. I have<br>
been chatting in the Hpv club but havent found any
more women in Florida. I Met a cool gril online but
she is far away. I have been dateing a realy good
woman but It's still to soon to tell her. Ill post when
I do and give you the skinny. I hope I am not going
to be dissed. Well thats the skinny with me. <br> I
had warts burnned off two weeks ago and nothin now
all healed up. I have to visit with the doc tomorrow
and I am going to ask about the full std test that i
have been reading about. I cannot belive he has not
sugested it. I think it would be wise to have this test.
All questionable partners I have had in the past I
have worn a condom with. My first wart was on my
pelvis where the shaft meets it. Therefore I belive that
I contraced this with a condom on. Scary huh, Well
guys please post if you want to get anything off your
chest. The suport I have recived by chating online has
helped me deal with this with a little more courage. As
Mark Twain said "Dont do the wrong thing when the
right thing can be done" <br> Later

I tried aldara back in the beginning and it didn't work for me.  Condolox worked
like magic though.  No symptoms in about a year and a half.  Just checking in I
guess.

This club has been up since the 18th of oct and
still only seven members. I am going to post links to
this club in other hpv forums. As you are doing
research please do the same. Im sure there are lots of
people in our area that have no Idea that this type of
club igsists. I will also be posting results of
treatment. Aldara is the name of a cream that you put every
night after you shower. It is suposed to build up the
skins amune system some how. At least that is my
understanding. It comes in several little packets containing
very littel, a small amount of the cream. This drug is
aparently expensive but my insurance keeps it down to ten
bucks. I had to get that info to my doctor in order for
him to prescribe. I am currently seeking a new doc. I
found the web site
<a href=http://www.mmm.com/pharma/aldara/pros.html
target=new>http://www.mmm.com/pharma/aldara/pros.html</a><br>I am also posting
this site in the links
section.<br>any coments concerns please post them or just a hello
if you want thanks.

I am reposting this info I found on the board in
the Hpv club. I would strongly sugest reading the
board on this site. Here is the info provided by
westervill Kid<br><br> Nonstandardized PCR techniques have
been used to detect HPV DNA in urine, with variable
results. In women with HPV DNA detected in cervical
specimens, urinary HPV DNA is detected<br>between 65% and
88% of the time.[22-24] Men with external warts
rarely have detectable DNA in<br>their urine.[25-27]
However, a high prevalence (76%) of HPV DNA is found in
urine from men with<br>urethral warts.[28] Furthermore,
urethral swabs more frequently detect HPV DNA than do
urine<br> specimens.[26,27] The clinical utility of either
urine or urethral swab for the detection of HPV DNA
remains unknown.<br><br> Urologists may also examine
partners of women with warts or cervical dysplasia. Up to
90% of male partners of HPV-infected females have
evidence of HPV infection,[29,30] indicating that the male
partner may be a reservoir of HPV. Because it is not
currently possible to eradicate HPV, aggressive treatment
of partners of women with premalignant or malignant
lesions is not indicated. The goal of therapy is removal
of exophytic warts and biopsy of any suspicious
areas for malignant change.<br><br> HPV has been
implicated in the etiology of penile, urethral, and bladder
cancers.[31] The prevalence of cervical carcinoma worldwide
parallels that of penile cancer. Partners of patients with
cervical cancer have an approximate 3-fold increased risk
of penile cancer.[31] HPV DNA of high-risk types can
be detected in 31% to 63% of penile cancers as well
as in the majority of premalignant penile lesions
(penile intraepithelial neoplasia).[31-34] Squamous cell
carcinoma of the urethra has been associated with HPV
infection in men (29% overall); 100% of distal urethra
lesions harbor HPV<br> DNA.[31] The majority of women
with urethral cancer (59%) also have HPV DNA detected
in the<br> tumors.[35]<br><br> The role of HPV in
bladder carcinoma is controversial. HPV DNA is detected
in approximately 10% of squamous cell and
transitional cell carcinomas of the bladder.[31] However, the
method of tissue collection makes it difficult to
discern whether the detection of HPV reflects
contamination from a urethral infection or true bladder-wall
infection. Bladder cancer with associated HPV infection has
been reported in immunosuppressed patients (cadaveric
renal transplant recipients),[36,37] a
cardiac<br>transplant recipient,[37] and a patient with concomitant
cervical cancer.[38] Two studies noted a worse prognosis
for patients with bladder cancer who also have
detectable HPV DNA in their tumors than those without
detectable HPV DNA.[39,40] <br> <br>1.Women, who have
cervical carcinoma (Cancer) have partners with three times
the chance of penile<br> cancer.<br> 2. Men with
visible external warts normally do not have HPV in there
sperm.<br> 3. 10% of all bladder cancers have been related
back to HPV. <br> 4. The "aceto-white" appearance from
things like vinegar does not always prove HPV. <br><br>
Some interesting facts that I uncovered by reading
this article.

I'm going through a very similar situation. I
left my ex about 7 months ago, and for a while just
worried about other things, trying to get my head
straight. I am currently somewhat involved with a girl who
definitely wants more. I do too, but I feel like there is
just no way I could deal with telling her, and I
definitely wouldn't risk her getting it, without knowing.(of
course) It just sucks.. She's pretty, smart, cool, and I
just feel like damaged goods. So anyway, I know what
you mean...

Thanks for posting. I was begining to think i was
alone in my plight. I am determined to have a
companion. It might not be soon but Im willing to lay the
ground work. One thing that hpv has done for me is to
take a step back. I am deffinatly out of the dateing
game as a player. Plus im not getting any younger. So
what I am looking for in a woman has changed. I am
looking for the marrying kind. The next woman I sleep
with I must be in love with. That has probably been
the tac I should have started with. But as I get
older I hope to correct my course. I know people localy
are infected and viewing this material. I think in
time more will join. It may sound ubsurd but I believe
that my dream girl is out there. And im going to try
my damndist to find her.

Youric<br><br>I told one girl at 3 months and
another at 2 months. You're right, it is a hard thing to
do, especially if they drop you. After that you feel
like there is no hope of ever being with someone
again. nfortunately, that's the mindset I'm in right
now. It's been a LONG time since I've had a LTR and at
this point it's like i don't even try anymore. I meet
so many good women in my day to day activities but
feel like it's pointless to persue them. Having to
tell them is a horrible experience. That's why i hope
this club picks up. We need some older women to join
for geezers like me.

hello sweetie,<br> I think that if she is truly a
great gal that she will understand what you are going
through. I don't know if she will be like "sure lets jump
in the sac"..... cus truly who with hpv would have
said "give me warts" if they would have known.....
besides that if she is worthy of being with a great guy
like you she will love you, bumps and all!!

Hello all I was wanted some opinions if anyone
would care to respond. I spent today with the best girl
i have dated in the last five years. I mean she has
a good head on her shoulders and sexy. She is smart
and i have a good time just hanging out with her. So
far so good. But when do i drop the bomb. Most
deffinitly before we ever kiss. And i hope i can just keep
her as a friend at least. But the bummer is I am
afraid the more i get to know her the more i will want
her. Doughble edge sword. If anyone out there has had
experience telling a date "I contracted a virus that can
cause cancer, an S.T.D". That is truely an obsticle to
overcome.<br>I would like help with this. <br>Thanx

Nothing new here exept for my cats being a pain,
quite a vocal cat. I still hope we have more people
join this club. I hope to be adding some links for
some medical info such as men testing for streins. So
that we may be able to identify wich strein of the
virus we might have. This info will be up by monday.

Hey everyone, just figured I would say hi.

I'm a 19/f from Orlando and I am happy to know that there are other people
around my age who are willing to be sew open about this.  YOU GUYS ARE KEWL!!
:-)

Hello, I guess i'm in one of those moods where I don't have too much to say, but
i'm happy to see there is a club for Floridians. I'm looking foreward to meeting
some people I can relate to.

I guess it takes some time. When i joined the
regular hpv club it had only about 50 members and now
look at it. Maybe there is some way to get the word
out. I don't know. The internet is pretty foreign to
me.

I was hopeing some other people would join. I
know it is an embarasing and personal thing. The only
people I feel comftorble speaking to about my situation
are thoes who realy understand. Ironicly most of the
people I have chated with online feel the same way and
suffer from the same fears. It is my goal to find other
people in this area.

hello love.....sorry for the other night computer
went all wacko.....nice to see that we are all
becoming such a big happy family here in fla :o) Between
these two clubs we should get a really kewl thing
going.....Hope you are having a grand day.......By the way * GO
BAMA .....ROLL TIDE* ......and GO BUCKS..so sorry I
had to do it I don't even know if anyone else watches

stage left....<br> bye
bye<br>xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo<br>for all my hpv
buddies in fla :o)

Hello It is good to see a post. I was begining to
belive that in all of central floria I am the only one
infected with hpv. The great thing about being online is
you can mask your identity but this does not seem to
be enough. I belive that people are veiwing this
material localy. The site has had lots of hits. I am tired
of being afraid. So far I have only spoken to two
women online localy that are infected with hpv. The are
21 and have started central floridahpvhangout
anouther yahoo club. This club has only been online a few
days and five people have joined. I wanted to aproach
the subject of strein of hpv. Even though a potential
partner may have hpv there are is more than one strein.
So I am in the process of trying to find out wich
strein I have. Good luck and thanx for posting.

Youric<br><br>I'm in Orlando and have had HPV for
about 3 years with no symptoms at all for the last year
and a half. However, as you know , this thing haunts
us forever. I also think it's best to lok for women
who have HPV. I tried to date "regular" women and
when it comes time to break the news it's gut
wrenching. It never goes too smooth either. There has to be
a zillion people in central Fla. with HPV. Most are
probably just too depressed or feel that they are the
"only one". If there's women in Central fla with
HPV....lets find them!!!!!

Hi! I am glad someone made a club for Central
Florida. I don't live here, but it is the closest to my
hometown. I hope we can get some more members and get this
club up and running, so we can get acquainted with
each other and just have fun and share our feelings
with each other on any and every subject possible!!!
<br>Thanks, Softball

I created this club in an effort to comunicate
whith people around me with hpv. I have been gathering
information for my doctor from online. After lots of thought
I decided to find someone to date who allready has
hpv. It would make dateing much less uncomftorble. I
also found out that there is more than one strein of
HPV. Another pitfall in my hopes to meet someone who
understands. I have joined all the other hpv clubs and use
Yahoo msnger to talk to the club members.<br> Any time
you see me online feel free to page me if you want to
b.s. or share information about treatment.
