Hi,
i am a 20 year old male that has just been diagnosed with this virus. i really do not know what to think of this because i had so many other things in planned in life, and now i don't feel like i have one at all. I'm desperate to know if their is any kind of experimental drugs i can take or anything. Cause the way i look at it right now is that, is that i am going to be single for the rest of my life and never have the chance to have kids. What do i do?

I understand your worries and concerns. I am a little confused though. What type of HPV were you diagnosed with? high risk or low risk?

well the doctor basically looked at it and said that is what it is, i didn't even know about high or low risk until i came on to this website. if i could be filled in more i would truly appreciate it.

Confused, you might start by looking at the Center For Disease Control (in the USA). They have a lot of information about HPV. If the doctor "looked at it" then it sounds like you have low risk HPV (which causes genital warts). I'm sorry, but I don't know much about those. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
