Havin smears done yearly is a good thing, but you should also look at the other risk factors and try (if you can, easier said than done) to eliminate as much as possible from your lifestyle.

what are you implying there? i have never had an sti, nor do i intend to, although me and my partner have been together for a year and a half we still take precautions.. always have and always will. Not too keen on your tone there missy.

I am not implying anything. I'm was advising you that your genetics may make you susceptible to the viral subtypes that cause cervical cancer. This could be due to an inflammatory response, or simply that your cells in the vagina are more permissible to this viral subtype infection. If you smoke, you're at an even higher risk...but hey, feel free to be dislike my tone, altho' I wasn't aware I was projecting one...maybe you should ask someone what they mean before getting defensive...especially if they are only offering friendly advice

It was a generalisation, the you wasnt aimed at you specifically, the tinernet has this problem of a lack of tone so yes, could have sounded a bit off, but as Hotblonde prolly knows nowt about you I wouldnt think anything more of it.

Where did STI's come from by the way? like, how do they emerge?

sorry... im being snappy cos im still in an incredible amount of pain with my back. I just took your response to my post as an implication that i get smears every year because of an sti.

God created them as a punishment for libidinous acts.

Not at all honey! I get them every year too, so definitely not! I maybe come accross a bit clinical sometimes.

As soon as one becomes sexually active, she should get a pap smears every year, in my opinion.

Fuck NHS... in the US and Canada it's the norm to have it done yearly, regardless of your health history:

So go for it Girrrrrrrls !!!

my man whore of an ex boyfriend gave me several rather nasty STD's. But because I trusted the bastard abd took "No i would never cheat" on faith I ended up with several STDS.

The worst bit was I didnt find out that I had any until started sleeping with current partner and he had to be rushed to A&E one night cause he was spiking a temperature and other stuff because I had made him ill

Thats when i found out, I felt so guilty that happened to hi, he didnt deserve it poor sod.

to recap: PLay safe kids. Use the lucky bags and get tested immediately if your think anything is amiss.

as im not in a "proper relationship" i still use condoms...and would never sleep with someone without one unless theyd been tested clear. i still get checked pretty regularly anyway, just in case. im a very paranoid person! i hate the experience though. same with smear tests...just bleh. my doctor had to remind me about 6 times before he got annoyed with me delaying it and made an appointment for me anyway. eek!

Nothing for you be guilty about....ever! Poor guy (current beau that is, not man-whore)...and poor you. Hope you're both sorted now.

Well looks like you two are going to tie the knot so evidently he has not (and hopefully will not) held (hold) it against you! That's an awful experience though... quite a learning curve I bet.
