Place an ad The sexually transmitted disease no one talks about HPV has been around since ancient times, but it often goes undetected May 2, 2000 BY JULIE SEVRENS KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS When parents talk to their children about the birds and the bees, there's one thing that's rarely mentioned: the human papilloma virus. ABOUT HPV The human papilloma virus is the most common sexually transmitted disease, with about 5.5 million new cases occurring in the United States every year. Here are some other facts about the disease: Nearly three out of four Americans from the ages of 15 to 49 have been infected with HPV. Most have just never known it. The body's immune system often can sufficiently suppress or perhaps even kill the virus on its own. Vaginal, oral and anal sex can all spread the disease, as can skin-to-skin contact in the genital region. Abstinence is the best defense. Condoms offer some protection but, because they do not cover the entire genital area, it is possible to acquire the virus while using them. Most HPV cases are symptomless and often harmless. Of the 70 to 100 strains of HPV thought to be in existence today, just two are responsible for causing genital warts. About a dozen are high-risk strains associated with causing cervical cancer. It is possible to acquire more than one virus strain.

If you feel you need more information then don't be afraid to ask. STIs are most commonly passed on through vaginal, oral and anal sex, and sharing sex toys. You don't need to have a lot of sexual partners to get an STI although the more partners that you have, the greater your chance is that one of them may pass an infection to you.

In a heated moment of passion at Swarthmore , I was with a woman, we were fairly intoxicated , screwing without protection. I think I asked her about her sexual history, not really paying that much attention to the guys with whom she'd shared carnal knowledge. A few days later, I noticed a strange smell in the shower, when I was cleaning my penis. A sort of old sex smell, not a happy odour. Next I'm noticing pain before, during and after urination. Aching like I have to pee for relief, but peeing does little but further agitate it. School was shortly over. In Chicago , I visited a urologist who thrust a cotton tipped metal probe half inch down my urethra while I let out a gut wrenched snarl. Stuck in the ass with some antibiotic, and diagnosed with nonspecific urethritis , I was given a dour prescription - take these blue deoxycycline twice a day without food, stay out of the sun, refrain from edjaculation. Unfortunately, I'd just begun experimenting with a
