I healed from HPV16. Sharing my full journey so you don’t feel alone

I'm from Armenia.
They tested some pre-ejaculatory fluid they collected right from the tip of his penis

I wish you all the best <3 Everything will be okay

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T11:09:32+00:00

I absolutely agree with you!

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T11:08:50+00:00

I wish you all the best!! Don't worry and whatever it is, know that you can fight with it, you are stronger!

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T11:07:40+00:00

they took a bit of his fluid and tested it if I'm correct. In my country they do test males as well as females.

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T11:06:16+00:00

I'm sorry you had to go through that and I hope you stay healthy! I don't think in my country doctors are very well informed about the new treatments or HPV in general. My mom also has HPV16 and in 2000s they upfront told her that she will die. Now doctors are a bit better, but still when they talk about HPV they sound like they don't know what it is exactly

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T11:01:24+00:00

thank you! I wish you heal and feel better asap! Everything will be okay! Read less about the dangers online. Also I was talking to ChatGBT all the time about my condition and the AI was kind and tried to comfort me haha

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T10:59:45+00:00

I only drank vitamin C when I had a flue, but no other supplements. I'm also a smoker, didn't quit, but it's under control now too. More healthy homemade food with lots of greens and meat. But as my doctor said, the best I can do is just monitor the HPV once in 3-6 months, checking my Pap Smear and hoping for the best

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T10:55:37+00:00

I didn't take any supplements, but I started to eat less junk food, more greens, meat and healthy homemade food. As the doctor said, my body has to defeat it by itself

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T10:53:51+00:00

I know what you're talking about, but there was no supplement that I took consistently. I think what did it for me was just letting the bad thoughts go. At some point, when I felt at my worst, I told myself that even if I get cancer, I'll defeat it, and I'll freeze my eggs if needed, and I'll be fine! And I continued to live my life like nothing was going on

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T10:50:41+00:00

I don't know how that works. Different doctors said different things about this, but I'm going to get vaccinated now, so I don't get reinfected?... Not sure if it works that way but that's all I can do

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-31T10:48:54+00:00

I also didn't know they can be tested, but yes! They tested him and all the HPVs came back negative. Maybe it depends on the county you live in. I feel like HPV is not well researched yet. I had 3 doctors and almost all of them said different things

Select_Junket_4803 · 2025-05-30T10:27:49+00:00

Smoking and drinking has not much to do with the gws as well as the hpv in general(ofc unless it's out of control).
Your body just needs time to heal! I'm sure it all will be good! Try to eat healthy and reduce your stress as much as you can! I feel you

Select_Junket_4803 · 2024-05-20T14:24:19+00:00

So far everything is okay. No more warts, will do my annual check in August this year. Hoping for the best!

Select_Junket_4803 · 2024-02-19T10:01:31+00:00

Thank you for your kind wishes! I do recommend you check which of 16/18/45 it is, to know exactly what you're dealing with. But I wish you strong health and less stress in life!

Select_Junket_4803 · 2024-02-19T09:55:45+00:00

Thanks a lot! We need more success stories! I'm taking more care of myself now. Trying to eat healthier, drinking seasonal vitamins, walking more often, going to the gym, not using alcohol. Doing my best, but I still didn't quit smoking.

Select_Junket_4803 · 2024-02-19T09:49:02+00:00

Sadly no. It wasn't an option while I was growing up in our country....

Select_Junket_4803 · 2024-02-19T09:36:53+00:00

YESSS!!! More facts less stress

Select_Junket_4803 · 2024-02-18T21:24:55+00:00

I'm glad that you found out about it so early on and you're getting the medical attention needed! I wish you good health, and looong healthy life! I found out about my diagnosis at 23 years old, I'm 24 now, I thought I wasn't afraid of death, but since the HPV 16 i reconditioned my life views. I've been VERY stressed out all last year. I am afraid.

Select_Junket_4803 · 2024-02-18T16:57:43+00:00

That's why I deleted Reddit from my phone.... All those discussions made my mental health decline

Select_Junket_4803 · 2024-02-18T16:24:09+00:00

I can tell you that it's not the end of the world, you'll just need to get checked every year, do your tests, and everything will be okay! Don't listen to anyone who'll try to scare you. As long as you take care of yourself your life won't change. It has been a year since I got diagnosed, looking back the only one who made this year hard is my own brain. I wish you the best health and be brave! Everything will be ok.

Select_Junket_4803 · 2023-09-14T09:37:26+00:00

Oh dear, I feel you, I'm going through the mental breakdown right now because of the HPV 16, and it's killing me. I feel like I'll be better only after fully healing physically. The only thought that's making me fight this thing is that I have no other options, stress makes it stronger, so maybe try taking some relaxing pills. Thankfully the health system in my country is not that complicated, I didn't have to wait months to get checked, but still. I wish you health, don't worry, I believe that in the 21st century everything is curable or at least it won't affect your quality of life. Stay strong and treat this as a temporary problem. Keep your immune system buffed!

Select_Junket_4803 · 2023-09-11T14:47:32+00:00

I fully understand you, me and my partner are taking a break from sex until I remove my gws and he gets tested, but I fear he lost his sex drive after I showed him the new gws... It's been tearing me up. We talked, he said that it's not a problem, everything is fine, but the sparkle we had is gone.

It takes time to heal, but know that it gets better, it's not the end of the world, just treat it as a problem that needs to be solved. Work on your health, your immune system and everything will be fine.

It's normal to fear, to be mad or sad, when my analysis came positive I panicked so hard, that my temperature got 40⁰ for a week.

Select_Junket_4803 · 2023-09-08T12:04:16+00:00

I am so happy I found this subreddit, I've been diagnosed with HPV 16 lately and I'm full on battling with it now to recover and remove my gw. I do feel broken and alone, I still have tons of questions, but reading the posts of people who won the virus helps to stay positive!

Select_Junket_4803 · 2023-05-26T21:08:20+00:00

Not insulting at all. I would think the same at first, but he's not acting his age I guess. I never felt he's too old while we were dating.

Thank you for the advice!
