[Age of Ignorance]

First of all, I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you. I don't really have the words to describe how much I sympathise, because this is a situation that is obviously very hard on you. I want you to know, though, that we're all here for you and we all hope that you can pull through this with your head up high.

I specifically want to skip over the rape part (quite simply, I don't know how to deal with rape victims - I work in a law firm where I've met 10+ rape victims, and every single one breaks my heart, and I don't think I know how to approach it without going into legalities), and go straight into HPV. Whilst, yes, you've been vaccinated, your "friend" who says that he had an HPV break-out right after sleeping with you (assuming he is a male, of course), then the fact that he "broke out" indicates that it is not a high-risk strain. Males show no symptoms if they have acquired one of the high-risk strains and there is absolutely no way to test a male for high-risk strains of HPV. Another words, he has a low-risk strain, which is good, because it means the likelihood that you have ovarian cancer is hugely diminished (also, the incubation period for ovarian cancer after contracting a high risk strain of HPV is conservatively said to be at least 2 years, so I believe it's unlikely you've got a high risk strain of HPV which has led to cancer). The only health problem associated with low-risk HPV strains, typically, is genital warts, which are more of an aesthetic problem than anything. Nevertheless, a possibility still remains that you could have a high risk strain of HPV, which can be detected by a pap smear - go and see your doctor, or your lady-part specialist, if you have one.

Also, were you cleared of chlamydia? Long-term, chlamydia can do some really dastardly stuff to your ovaries, and it's not pretty. Often, if you were sick whilst taking the antibiotics (as in, you had diarrhea or you vomited), the infection will remain throughout the course of treatment and won't be effected by it. Another words, you could still have chlamydia and that could be the source of the problem.

Anyway, I seriously advise you go and see your gyno or doctor, get the "full panel" done, get your lady parts physically examined, and get a pap smear. Talk to your doctor about those STIs that cannot be detected, and ask his/her opinion. They will be hugely more knowledgeable than us.

I'm always here if you want to chat.
