Yes, this is very normal. This is a quote from a Herpes/HPV support website: "It is important to address another stress which can occur in those with Herpes. Unfortunately in our society, there still exists a stigma associated with the virus. Thus many people with Herpes, especially soon after being diagnosed, feel shame and embarrassment. Others fall into a depression and wonder if anyone will want to be with them sexually again. We encourage anyone having these feelings to talk to a counselor, friend, or attend a Herpes support group. These feelings are a normal initial reaction and most people find that their biggest fears about the virus are actually unfounded. Eventually, the virus becomes something to manage, like any other health condition. For a more detailed look at these issues, please see The Psychology of Living with Herpes." http://www.herpes.org/herpesinfo/smartliving.shtml http://www.herpes.org/ http://www.herpes.org/hpvinfo/index.shtml

Yes, It is very normal, Over 8,00000 people have it. (I think more than that) If you need any further advice on HPV just come to me. It usually feels better when you talk someone.

The HPV viruses....,there are a few strains,are so common these days that there is actually a new vaccination called Guardasil that has come out for girls. The biggest concern of yours is to make sure that you get annual pap exams and more frequent after you are treated if your Doc says. The HPV virus can eventually lead to cervical cancer. That is why they came out with the vaccine. Stay informed about it and know that you are not alone. I got it from my first boyfriend and I found out that he was cheating on me with 3 other girls so that is how I got the lovely "present" from that cheating rat. Hey, it could have been a worse STD so count yourself as lucky and stay informed and keep up with those Gyno visits and be sure to keep it in your medical records so they are aware. Good luck
