I recently had my first smear test and it has come back that I am positive for high risk HPV and have low grade dyskaryosis, so I am being referred for colposcopy. Candida was found as well, which I know can make cells appear abnormal. Trying not to stress about cervical cancer as I know it's early detection of possible risk and that abnormal cells can be treated if required, but I am worrying about how it will affect work. I know HPV is very common and most people have had some form, but I have one of the high risk strains that could lead to cancer and am worried about the possibility of spreading this to clients. While I know many people will have one of those strains without any issues, there is still the risk of it resulting in cancer. I always use condoms for penetration, but I know there can still be skin to skin contact for uncovered areas, and I also receive oral so there's the possibility clients could get an oral infection. Maybe I could stop receiving oral, but it's something a lot of my clients enjoy so it could cause issues and I wouldn't know how to explain my reasons for stopping it. I wouldn't want to tell people I have an infection. I'm stressed trying to figure out what I'm going to do as I have some bookings this weekend then am supposed to be touring next week, so I don't know whether I need to cancel or not. Maybe I'm overthinking it but I feel so guilty about the thought of giving it to someone who later goes on to get cancer, since there aren't screenings equivalent to cervical screening to detect early risk of the other cancers caused by HPV. I just don't know what to do.
