Quote: I think it's important to realize that HPV is a virus, not a STD. Viruses CAN make us sick or cause disease, but often our immune systems are able to ward them off. Sometimes not, and then we show symptoms that reveal more.
Hm. Good point. It does remind me that I did have a series of warts (on the hands) before I even dated him...which could mean that I already had the virus. I haven't had any in years, so my body did at some point learn how to fight it off.
Quote: Ask him to think if he'd be feeling guilty about giving you the flu just because he kissed you on the cheek or held your hand in the movie theater? BTW, most viruses ARE transmitted through our hands...
Good point, I think I will have to point this out to H the next time he brings it up.
