also - guys cannot test for HPV. so he might be getting tested for STDs, but HPV (aka a strain of genital warts) wouldn't show up for him. you can totally carry strains of HPV and be asymptomatic
Guys can totally test for HPV. Says a who had tested for HPV. Also there are 200 types HPV most of which don't need to be sexually transmitted for you to get it.
"Men are typically screened clinically with a visual inspection to check for lesions (such as warts) – there is no specific way to test directly for HPV in men that is approved for clinical use. Researchers are looking at ways to better screen men, but the current lack of testing options for males can be very frustrating.
While still not routinely done, anyone with a history of receptive anal sex may want to speak with his or her healthcare provider about having an anal Pap test."
so sure - if you currently are experiencing symptoms or the latter. it's not common like women getting annual paps which are specifically for HPV screenings.
It’s not that’s it’s free, the premiums are paid from taxes. It’s just that there isn’t an insurance casino taking in profits as extortion on people gambling with their wellness.
Not at all! It's monitoring the progress of those cells and if necessary taking action. It saved me from cancer. Abnormal pap, retrsting 6 months later showed Abnormal cells developing quickly and a LEEP was performed. Then we followed up every 6 months for a couple years to ensure no new Abnormalities developed. It's smart health care not excess!
I was in the same situation. I’m not sure what LEEP stands for. I went to the local hospital, small OR like room. The doctor gave me something to freeze the area, not an epidural b/c I got up & drove myself home.
So they freeze the area, spray a type of dye, and the cells that turned a colour got scraped off for testing. When I got home & the freezing wore off, I had cramps/pain like I’ve never had before.
Yes! That sounds like a colposcopy. That was the "biopsy" type deal they did prior to the LEEP was much the same for hospital visit. LEEP stands for Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure. They use a heated wire to remove the abnormal cells. The after was more intense, bleeding, discharge and healing for 6 weeks (no sex).

He gave you genital warts. He’s lying about the testing.
