I'm trying to find a good doctor in my area to treat HPV...where do I look?
My girlfriend and I now have HPV because two doctors misdiagnosed it as a skin tag. I don't know if legal action is worth it because apparently it is difficult to diagnose...but I really need to find a good doctor so we can try and get rid of it. Where do I go to look?? We're losing a lot of faith in our healthcare system these days...

Hello-I used to work in public health at a family planning organization, and I have a couple of websites for you to check out,as I am not sure of your proximity to the places listed(and I am unsure if you have health insurance.)
Also,in my opinion, public health agencies are WAAAAY more thorough than many private providers when it comes to STD treatment-and they will lose funding if your confidentiality is breached.If you are minors,both of you can be treated/tested without parental consent under the mature minor law which is a federal law.

and if you are close to Mass. try HCSM.org and click on the family planning link.
Good luck!
