Dr. Doni Wilson discusses what makes an HPV diagnosis hard: the conversations with yourself and your partner, not the diagnosis itself. Your immune system can clear high-risk HPV even with repeated exposure. What matters is your own health actions, not how your partner reacts.
The hardest part about an HPV diagnosis for many women isn't actually the diagnosis, but the conversations that come afterwards with yourself and with your partner. What scares them most is thinking of what testing positive for HPV means about them. HPV is a very common virus. 80% of us will be exposed by age 50. You're human, humans have sex, and humans get exposed to high-risk HPV virus. A way for you to know exactly when you were exposed or by whom. Worrying about all of that is not gonna help you heal. Talking with your partner about HPV is your choice and something that I hope becomes more normalized. It can be done from a place of honesty without overexplaining or without carrying any guilt that was never yours to hold in the first place. Here's the part that changes everything. You to focus is on you and your body's ability to protect you from high-risk HPV. Whether your partner does anything to address HPV or not You're not. Your body can protect you from HPV even if you're exposed again. Your immune system and your microbiome can protect you from HPV when you are in a healthy state. If HPV is present, it means it's time for you to take care of you.
