I've never been diagnosed with HPV, but my recent pap smear showed benign changes related to HPV. Could I have been carrying this virus for over 30 years without knowing? I've only been with my husband for the past 30 years. Should I be concerned, and is it possible to detect the specific HPV strain that could cause cervical cancer? Should I insist on a quicker repeat of the Pap smear?

Can you get Trichomonas vaginalis without having sex with multiple partners? What could cause Trichomonas randomly, and how else can you get it? Is it possible for Trichomonas to go undetected for years, months, or days? What sexual activities carry the infection, and could not showering for a while and having sex be a cause?

I am 37 years old and have been experiencing concerning vulvar changes for the past 6 months, including color changes in my clitoral hood, development of leaflet-like appendages on my inner labia, and the formation of bumps around the edges of my inner labia. I also experienced itching, skin peeling, and a rubbery feeling in my inner labia, but no discharge. I thought it might be a yeast infection, but the treatment did not improve the symptoms. What could be causing these changes, and what should I do?
