Have I mentioned this?
Jun. 4th, 2008 01:37 pmI have HPV. It happens. In fact, look at 3 of your closest friends. Chances are ONE of you doesn't have it.
HPV doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care about condom usage (although studies have shown that condoms DO weed it out vastly better than the dumber alternative of NOT using one, not to mention HALLO! There are other STDs out there), it doesn't care if you're fucking for the first time or the 100th time. It doesn't care if you are on partner #1 or #134. IT DOES NOT CARE.
There are currently over 70 identified strains of HPV.
A few of my friends (just this week!!) have come back with abby normal paps, and low squamous cells. So I think this is a good time to clear up some things about this annoying virus.
