Should I worry about cervical cancer?
Three years ago I made the mistake of losing my varginity with a guy. In fact, our penis and vagina made contact several times and I'm not sure if there was any true intercourse but yes, we had sexual relations. But that was three years ago and since then I have not had any sex partners at all and I have been completely healthy. No signs or symptoms whatsoever. In fact, I haven't even gotten small colds or illnesses. Been perfectly fine (knock on wood). But the truth is, i don't know this guy's medical history. I know for a FACT that he was a virgin as well but like I said, he could have been a carrier of HPV. I am not sure if he is or not but I realllly think he is. It's so scary but then shouldn't i have already shown signs or symptoms since it's already been three years? BTW the ex-boyfriend I'm talking about here is psychotic, he's been arrested two times for getting close to me because of the way he acts so there's no way of getting in touch with him.
It's funny because i'm worrying about this like i am going to die soon. I am literally depressed about it. I mean everything was fine and dandy, for three years I didn't even consider this until I was watching scrubs and they mentioned HPV. AHHHHHHH. Please tell me i have nothing to worry about and three years is long enough.

The particular HPV virus that leads to greater risks for cancer has no symptomolgy. The way to exclude its presence is to have a pelvic exam. You should be having an exam annually anyway. That gives the doctor an opportunity to see if you have internal genital warts caused by HPV.
While I could tell you that you are unlikely to be at risk, the only way to settle this with a certainty is to have a pelvic exam.
While it is unlikely that your sex partner had the virus, and if he did, it isn’t a certainty that it would be transferred to you, and if you had it, it doesn’t mean you would get cervical cancer …just that your odds increase… nor would it be likely that you would, as you say, "die soon." relieve your mind and make that appointment today.
Also, I suggest you learn not to rush to extreme unlikely outcomes in the future. Just do the day to day things that keep you safe and let other people worry themselves sick.
