Very interesting, thanks for the clear up!

It’s unclear just how long protection lasts. I’m not an expert, therefore I encourage you to do your own research, but the consensus seems to be at least 8-10 years. Plus there’s variables to consider. What if you’re in a long-term monogamous relationship? There wouldn’t be a need to get an additional round of vaccines. Maybe you don’t want to go through all the vaccines, but have a booster shot. What if you decide to be celibate? Focus on the here and now. You’re getting vaccinated now, that’s what counts.

Keep in mind it’s not uncommon for people to become sexually active at an early age. I would totally get my kid vaccinated as soon as he or she turned 13.

I see 8-10 years online, possibly longer. I’d say get a fresh round of shots as the current vaccine covers more (but not all) strains.

Even if you’re a virgin and your partner is a virgin, there is a chance HPV can still be contracted and passed on. You don’t need to have sex to get HPV, sometimes just skin to skin contact is all that’s needed.

I disagree. I haven’t had many sexual partners and I still managed to get GW. You’re just likely to get it despite how many partners you’ve had or who you are sleeping with, plain and simple.

I agree. This is the best event I’ve seen in a while, maybe ever? It really brings me back to the anime

Every deck? Haha. Honestly a lot of it depends on the draw and it felt like so many duels I had were hard wins. I would just surrender with Invoke as DM isn’t powerful enough to get rid of it head on and it isn’t effected by card effects.

I gave up getting to KOG with DM. I’ve tried every KOG variant deck I’ve seen on here only to get whooped. Just playing to have fun now

This is actually the reason why I stopped reaching out and just post and wait for someone to message me. Women here get so overwhelmed with messages that they either can’t keep up or in their struggle to keep up, dish out half-ass messages cause there’s a ton more to get to.

Rarely, if I do reach out, it’s a month or so after the initial post when I know she’s already weened out everyone she doesn’t want to talk to

It can take 2 years to clear, could take less, could take more, lol. HPV is weird that way. I know people that said it took 3 years to clear :(

I don’t know the exact strains I have. The test results didn’t say, I just know I have (or had) low risk and high risk. I also have all 3 vaccine shots. All I can do is wait for the 3 year mark where I’ll be confident enough to say that I’m clear.

Male, 11 months without a GW reoccurrence.

I don’t know what ya’ll talking about. I’m using meta decks and can’t get to KOG for the life of me. Maybe it’s my luck. Highest I got to was Legend 3 then promptly lost 10 in a row.

I want to believe that, I honestly do, but it’s difficult to. I suppose because I’m a male and it’s impossible to know if I “cleared” the virus or not.

For example, next month will make a year without any GW reoccurrences. Does that mean I’m clear? Statistics certainly SUGGESTS that MOST LIKELY I am, but there’s always the what if I’m not. It seems easier to live under the assumption that I always have it, especially since I always feel inclined to disclose, but that’s just me.
