Hi everyone, new to the forum.
I've had KP for about 12 years now.for me, it get's better when i get a deep tan or when i'm least stressed. I have many of the symptoms described on this forum...
Except, i believe kp is contagious aswell. why do i believe it's contagious you ask? well about 12 years ago i had a one night stand. I was very young and very stupid and decided NOT to use protection that night. three days later i had to go to the doctor because of discharge and burning during urination... ghonorea? that's what i thought, turns out the one night stand gave me some type of STD, the doctor couldn't even pronouce. one of the symptoms i had before going in to the clinic; was a rash that broke out on the back of my arms and chest. they shot me up with penicillin and sent me on my way. I had ghonorea once before when i was 14 so i didnt think much of it. being naive, i thought the "rash" would go away in time. I went home, took the rest of my antibiotics and waited... but the KP never went away.
over time i just excepted that it wasnt going to go away and moved on with my life.. looking forward for the summer when i could burn the KP off with the Sun.
Now here is where the contagious theory comes in. my young daugther started to have kp symptoms also. she never had it before. my mother doesnt have kp and never had it either. my father doesnt have kp. so how could we both have it if its supposed to be hereditary? like any father who is really close with his children you have close contact with them all the time
i believe she might have contracted my "kp" by sleeping on the same sheets as me or another way that it could be spread.
you're probably thinking, it has to be heredetery on your case; she's your kid. that's what i thought, untill about 2 years ago, when my girlfriend of 4 years came down with kp aswell. i was shocked, i couldnt believe she started to get kp. I'm really concerned that kp, or something that mimics KP could be contagious and spreading amongst family members... without anyone suspecting anything, because it's supposed to be hereditary.
if anyone has had a familiar experience like mine please reply or send me a PM. every little bit of information helps.
I hope my story can be of some help..not only with other kp sufferers, but also in showing some of the young people that safe sex is an absolute must. this disease has held me back in my life. I'm going to post this on every kp forum i can find. i want to do my part, to make sure other people dont have to go through what i have been through.
thank you for reading
