I just wanted to make a comment on the HPV factor, I was diagnosed with
it and I had only had one partner. At that time I was told that Dr.s
are not sure how you get it and all that jazz. I went back for the
freezing procedure and they couldn't find anything that was abnormal. A
few months later I went back for a recheck and the HPV was gone.
Appreantly your body can fight it off and get rid of it but you always
have a chance of it poping back up. FYI that is my experiance with HPV.
