A member asked:

What is the best way to tell if i was sexually abused as a child without knowing it noting i am an adult now & signs of hpv are not present because that's no visible sadly?

People generally can recall events as early as age 3 years, sometimes assisted by hypnosis. Before that time little is available. Even here caution is necessary because false memories can be created by well-meaning therapists. Many chronic abusers don't leave visible marks or STD's. Blaming adult issues on assumed childhood trauma though popular to some is not a worthy pursuit.

There must be a reason why you suspect being abused. I suggest you see a Psychiatrist for proper evaluation. HPV can be tested by your Gyn. This will dispel your worry. good luck.
