Anyway... apparently they began or maybe just finished a study on lubricants with Carrageenan that seem REALLY promising in the protection against HPV. I also think that it might help fight it as well but I might be making that up. Either way, it's pretty exciting

here are two links. one to the HPV convention in Germany (there was also one in Canada) and one about the product Carraguard and Bioguard

I just got diagnosed this past Monday with HPV and it's been a roller-coaster of a ride... I was mostly upset about the fact that the ONE person I pretty much got tricked into having sex with after 23 years gave it to me. It feels as though it wouldn't be as difficult had my time with him been a good memory. It wasn't even worth it but I still got a parting gift from the little gem that he is. I'm thankful that I don't have the high-risk strand of HPV and that since I picked up on it quickly no warts got bad...
I've been reading a lot about it and seriously, everything posted online is terrifying! i'm terrified of ever spreading it to anyone I'm with and that sucks because I just feel "dirty".
My gyno was super optimistic about it all (too much, if you ask me) but she told me something that is very true.... with the way things are right now, chances are that prospective partners will most likely have dealt with some strand of HPV at some point in their lives already.
How soon did you start having sex again after being diagnosed?View Thread
