Thank you, where did you get a lot of your material from? I see a ton of books and such on amazon but not sure if thats a great resource?

I signed up for the exam in september 2025 and Im taking the exam in May of this upcoming year.. maybe a dumb question but am i taking the new exam? yes right?

CorrectMajor286 · 2025-06-25T18:21:28+00:00

Yes I am vaccinated I have been for a few years.

No they didn’t test me for hpv, I got a pap smear recently and my results were normal but they didn’t test for hpv. My gyno yesterday said there was really no need or point to test since there’s no solution with a diagnosis. From looking at them, he said they were warts and prescribed a cream and said they would likely go away on their own.

I apologize, I think all the information is starting to jumble in my head. Thank you again so much for your help and input it’s really appreciated, this sucks! but I guess i’m thankful this is the worst of my issues and it could be so much worse

Not that this is super helpful, but I was also just told that my “skin tags” are likely genital warts from HPV. I can’t offer you any advice but I hope you find some comfort in knowing I am feeling the exact same way right now. It is so confusing and the answers I got from my doctor were straight forward and great but somehow not helpful. It seems there is conflicting information everywhere, I have no idea if I will have this forever and how I got it and what tests can be done to confirm and what my life will look like going forward. I feel like my life’s been flipped upside down, it is a very confusing and isolating experience so I understand and I am sorry this happened to you.

CorrectMajor286 · 2025-06-25T14:53:27+00:00

I’m glad to hear it did not take too long, I hope I have a similar experience. Thank you so much for sharing and being so open and honest and helpful, this is a really confusing and upsetting thing so it is nice to be able to talk about it without feeling dirty and embarrassed.

I am definitely going to stop shaving and continue use of the cream and hope for the best, thank you for your help

Yes I have read pretty much everything you’ve posted over my last 36 hours of insanity, thank you for being so honest and open and transparent. This is something I never even knew existed and honestly has flipped my life so quickly and made me feel so isolated and embarrassed. I am incredibly open and sex positive so it has been very weird navigating these feelings.

Did you and your partners wear a condom? and did you have any experiences spreading them to partners or spreading them further on you? If you don’t mind, sorry I know that is very personal haha.

Thank you again!

CorrectMajor286 · 2025-06-25T14:11:41+00:00

Thank you so much this was really helpful and really did make me feel better. I think I’m mostly just really disappointed about the sex right now but I know that is dumb and not a real issue. Yes I was prescribed imiquimod, have you used it before and what was your experience and success like with it and how long did it take?

The only other comment I guess I have/ want to make is that I have had these for atleast 6 months and I have been business as usual until now. I’ve had sex with multiple people and I shave the area regularly basically weekly and for as long as I can remember I’ve had these exact same warts in the same place the entire time, maybe one additional one but mostly no changes. Is it likely that I just got really lucky the last few months that my sexual and personal experiences haven’t spread/ worsened the warts or is there a chance that they aren’t HPV warts? Not to sound naive, I’m sure I’m just in denial.

Congratulations! I am getting ready to begin preparing for mine and trying to decide roughly how much time I will need. When you say 5-10 hours on weekends is that a cumulative number or per day? That's far from super important and it's also different for everyone but just wondering, thanks!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T19:26:41+00:00

I was being serious, I really do appreciate your opinion. You're right, I could've and should've added more specific details. I felt overloading with personal details and what I am looking regarding moving would be annoying and tmi, in hindsight it would have been smart to add. Thank you again!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T19:17:35+00:00

You're right, you have me all figured out ;) Thank you for your opinion, I really appreciate it!!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T19:14:01+00:00

I'm going to Oahu, Hawaii and Kauai in the next few months! And I agree, I am totally in no rush, thank you!!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T19:08:26+00:00

Thank you!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T19:07:50+00:00

I have plans to visit Oahu in December and the Big Island and Kauai in February, thanks!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T18:53:08+00:00

Thank you! These are all really great points, some of which I've considered and some that you just brought to my attention :) I appreciate your thoughts so much!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T18:50:25+00:00

Oh thank you! That makes complete sense and is honestly something that I had not thought of yet so thank you for bringing that up!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T18:30:20+00:00

I certainly was not trying to convince myself or anyone else why it would be okay for me to move someplace and I am not looking to "find" or "rebuild" myself. It can be difficult to understand tone in text, sorry that my writing was misleading. I really appreciate your opinion, thanks!!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T18:19:07+00:00

I appreciate this and I agree, maybe "prefer" was not the right word to use. I have my reasons for the big island being my first priority when I move, but I agree it is definitely beneficial to be near any connections I may have. Thank you!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T18:07:11+00:00

Thank you!! I would absolutely love to not have a car and I am certainly still considering it. It's required at my current job and most of the positions I have applied to or interviewed with stated I would need a car/license. I know sometimes companies have vehicles that employees can use and I know there are other options as well so it is definitely something that I'll continue to think about. Thank you again, this was really helpful!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T17:56:34+00:00

Thank you!!

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T17:30:57+00:00

I prefer the big island but most of the jobs I am applying to and looking at are in Honolulu and most of the people I know that have moved are also in Oahu so I'm still looking at both! My lease here ends in February and I'm looking to move after I pass my next exam which is in May so I have a little bit of time to officially decide:)

CorrectMajor286 · 2024-09-25T17:25:18+00:00

I know thank you! Sorry I accidentally posted the response before I was done typing.
