| Re: whats so bad about hpv??
for some it's just a hard thing to accept. it's scary to think you have a virus in you that you will never be rid of, and you will always have to tell your partners about it so that they can decide if they want to be sexually active with you or not, and a lot of the time it leads to rejection. i think it's more of an emotional thing than physical. i know a few people who've only been with 1 or 2 people and have contracted it...though they have not been premiscuous or anything like that, they still feel dirty and wonder "why me?" all the time.
for me it sucks because when i get them, i get lots of them...they seem to come in packs on me. i just had my first laser removal on monday, and i've had some minor pain and bleeding as a result. i really REALLY hope i don't have to have this surgery on a regular basis for the rest of my life. surgery, meds, etc gets to be pretty expensive.
that's just my 2 cents on the matter. like i said, i think it's more of an emotional feeling and how it makes you feel about yourself and what others think of you (though you may not be premiscuous, others may tend to judge you as "dirty"), than it is a physical thing (though they can get to be pretty uncomfortable).
