Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has an adverse effect on the patient’s emotional and sexual health. The current study explored the sexual life of women after HPV diagnosis. In this qualitative content analysis study, 20 Iranian women positive for HPV shared their sexual life through face-to-face, semistructured interviews. “Nothing is like before” reflected women’s experiences of their sexual life after the HPV diagnosis. It comprised 3 categories: abnormal sex life, new attitude toward sexuality, and myths and misconceptions. More attention is needed to the way health care providers and doctors educate women about HPV transmission and HPV treatment because they shape women’s perceptions of HPV.
