Did you have sex with her?
Just messing. It could be (although
rare) that you acquired it a long time
ago despite using protection, and it
just chose now to rear its ugly head.
I'm a guy so I can't help you out too
much with the colposcopy question, but
as far as I know only actual warts
pose a very small risk to a baby at
birth. Check out hpvsupport.com and
read some of their threads, I'm sure
what you're looking for will be
discussed in detail there.

Most of the time Ascus goes away by
itself. The biopsy is done to find out
if there are any precancerous cells
and if they are they will discuss with
you the next step. Chances are it it
is not precancerous but they need to
check just in case. way.

continued from above
91 percent of abnormal paps clear
within a two year window so try not to
worry to much. Only a small percentage
of women have an issue with it that
can turn to cancer. As far as having
kids don't let it stand in your way.

Many women have hpv and have had
healthy children.

8 years? HPV does not sit around doing
nothing for that length of time. It is
not common for HPV to show in that long
a time frame. Keep telling yourself
that it is a faithful marriage

Not exactly True
It is not the norm but it is possible
for this to show up at 8 years for the
first time. Using data from recent
studies this will happen to people who
do not develope an immune response to
the HPV (which is approximately 8% of
people that get infected). 8% of the
20,000,000 that have HPV now is 1.6
million people (so more than it
sounds). If your marriage is
otherwise fine then you do no have to
assume any cheating took place.

me again--we think that the hpv came
from his previous fiance--whom he was
not always protected with. I
absolutely, positively know that he is
1000% faithful to me. I have read on
many websites how this virus can
just "pop" up and after planning a
stressful wedding I am sure that it
was just my time.

If i didn't develop an immune response
than where has this been for 8 years--
not showing up in my system? I have
had all normal paps and right now it
only shows ascus? Any ideas?/
from above post

they say that 30 pecent of normal paps
aren't normal so it is possible the
sample they took in the past hadn't
found hpv but you had it and it just
didn't show up. Anything is possible
with this virus.

from the poster above
Also 50 percent of ascus is not hpv
related and the other 50 percent tests
possitive for hpv

Only 1 - 5% of people who get HPV ever
show symptoms (warts, abnormal pap,
etc). It is very possible that when
you acquired it, nothing happened, it
went into a latent/inactive state and
has reactivated due to your wedding
causing you stress and suppresing your
immune system. This time however your
body chose to show symptoms.

I had all normal pap tests, I found
out after I went to the DR. to have a
little strange bump looked at so who
knows how long I had it for. In
regards to pregnancy, that is also a
concern of mine but all research I've
read says there is a very small % that
pass it on to the baby. It is scary,
but if you think about it .25% is very
small. I even thought a C section
would be best, but apparantley that
poses a greater risk than vaginal
birth w/ warts
