The human papillomavirus is transmitted through vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Many researchers believe that cultural norms for sexual behavior (more people having sex at a younger age and with multiple sex partners) have led to the increase in HPV infection. Because symptoms can be slow to appear and are usually painless, infected people can spread HPV unknowingly. \n\nThose with a suppressed immune system are at higher risk for contracting infection that produces warts. \n\nThe human papilloma virus is associated with up to 90 percent of all cervical malignancies and may play a role in cancers of the vagina, anus, vulva and penis. \n\nSorry to say; stay away from him.\n\n>>>>>>>\n\nFirst confirm if your husband has HPV. Don't come to a wrong conclusion. You were not sure and you were saying "it might be HPV", "looks like HPV".\n\nMost sensitive method for diagnosis of HPV is detection of HPV DNA by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).\n\nAcetowhitening is a diagnostic tool.\n\nMost commonly used and widely available technique is histopathologic examination of a tissue biopsy.\n\nThere is nothing wrong if you undergo one more PAP testing now. I strongly recommend you also to undergo HPV DNA testing by PCR.\n\nIf at all you want to have sex with your husband, use condoms. \n\nAs i said before, first confirm your husband's diagnosis. If you have any doubt, you can email me also.

I know how you feel.  I got diagnosed last summer.  I was terrified of telling my boyfriend.  I thought he was going to leave me, I was sure of it.  He was just the opposite.  He was so understanding.  The day I told him he took the day off to be with me to comfort me.  We did go through some rough times dealing with it later.  Most of hpv heals itself within one to two years.  You will always have the virus, it will just be "hidden".  The best advice I can give you is not to smoke, smoking increases the risk of it not going away.  I felt dirty for the longest time, but this is SO common.  Most people have it, they just don't know it beause the virus hasn't shown itself in any way.  I have not had any problems with mine (no warts etc).  It is very important to get a pap every 6 mos to make sure it is not escalating into something more serious.  I hope this helps.  I know it is tough telling your fiance.  Hopefully it will bring you closer together.

did your doctor give you a blood test? This should have been done initially if you suspected an STD which it does sound like. \nMany doctors in this day and age are beginning to decrease the amount of STD tests done, stupid it know, as they believe the STD epidemic is declining as people become more familiar with safe sex.\n\nBack to your question, has this always happend when you have had sex? No? Then something has obviously developed. Either demand further testing from your doctor or give him/her a sample on the spot. Yes I mean go out and obtain a sample of the gunk on a swab. If you tell the doctor before hand they should be able to give you a pathology swab with a special tube to keep it in. \n\nAnother variation on your symptoms is a blockage of the ducts out of the scrotum, this would cause a blockage and swelling of the vessels giving the illusion your right ball is swallon. Once the body acts to right this wrong the semen would ooze out as it is the only place it can go.\n\nEither way you need to see a specialist if your doctor is being complacent about the issue! \n\nHope this helped

Yes it's true that a guy can have HPV and not know it.  Of the many strains of HPV only some produce warts.   It he has a strain that is not wart producing he may not know it.  There is not a blood test for him to know or not.  If you have HPV many doctors will recommend your b/f or husband see a urologist.  The urologist will put a solution on his genitals and use a special light to see if their are any changes in the skin that the naked eye can't see.  Their is new information daily regarding HPV, but some studies suggest that @ 70% of sexually active people have been exposed to HPV.  These odds aren't good, even if they are not totally accurate.  The best way to protect you if you're sexually active is use a condom all the time, and this isn't 100%.  The only way to prevent is abstinence.

My guess, it's probably a wart.  Haven't you ever heard of genital warts?  It's caused by the HPV virus that 80% of the population carries.  It can cause warts on both men and women, and it can cause cervical cancer in women.  I had a hysterectomy at 28, because of my cervix.  Use a condom.  I wouldn't say it is herpes, because herpes only flare up every now and then, usually during stress, but the warts will sometimes stay until they are removed.

YOu know the answer. Go to the doctor immediately. Why would you think you could trust people here? This is nothing to screw around with.

Well, about 80% of women have the virus.  With most of them their immune system is able to fight it and naturally destroy it.  But with some women the virus turns into cancer.  If your boyfriend cheated on you, and you didn't had it before, it is very likely that he gave it to you.  But then again they have not found out yet what exactly is the cause of this virus.  Get treatment right away, for this may become very serious and deadly.  They just invented and will release on the market at the end of June a vaccine against that.  Its 100% effective against the virus causing HPV.  Ask your doctor about it.

There are over 30 kinds of HPV. I have read even up to 100. Most kinds don't do anything or show any symptoms, that's why is it so easily spread from person to person. After all it is the number one STD. \n\nSince you both have the virus it doesn't matter if you have unprotected sex. It is a virus and will stay with you the rest of your life. It's not like you are going to reinfect each other or make it worse. There currently is no cure for HPV right now. \n\nYou need to be going to your OBGYN at least once a year though, because HPV can cause cervical cancer which kills 300,000 women a year! It can also cause genital warts, which although annoying, are treatable. Women usually don't find out they have HPV until they get an abnormal pap smear come back, or they develop genital warts. Both can be treated. Men usually find out they have it by developing genital warts, which can also be treated.\n\nI have had HPV for about 5 years now. I got cervical cancer about a year after I got it, and just six months ago I got genital warts. It can take a while to show any signs or symptoms.

GO BACK!!!It could be something serious that could be deadly!Tell him you want him to run test to see if  its a  tumor!!If he won't go to a different Dr.

It's about time for you to schedule an appointment with your GYN. Do you go in for routine check ups? If not, you should. A routine pelvic/PAP smear is early detection for many health issues concerning women. Given that you are a virgin, does not prevent you from getting a yeast infection. Oral antibiotics can cause yeast over growth/infection, as well as diabetes. Make an appointment, get yourself checked out, for your peace of mind. \nBest Regards

It really doesn't matter where she got it from. It's not like finding out who gave it to her is going to make it go away or change anything.\n\nYou can have HPV (Human papillomavirus) for years and not have any symptoms! I have had HPV for 5 years now. I didn't develop genital warts until about 6 months ago! So, she might have the virus, she just isn't showing any signs of it. The best thing she can do now is to see an OBGYN and get a pap smear done. HPV can cause abnormal cells on the cervix which can lead to cervical cancer. (That's how I found out I had HPV!) Cervical cancer kills 300,000 women a year, so it is very important that she does this.\n\nAs for him, he can see a doctor to get some medication to treat the warts, but there is no way to know if he has the virus. Currently there is no test for men to detect the HPV virus. \n\nFor the most part HPV really doesn't do anything, and as long as you are in good health and are seeing the doctor regularly you should be fine. The real major concern with HPV is the cervical cancer. As long as she is seeing her OBGYN and getting her yearly pap smears done she should be okay.

Well were do we start on this one. First when you go to the bathroom and you sit on the john do you allow your penis touch the john or do you hold it down so it does not. If it touch the john where someone else has used it other then family them you may have caught something from the john it self. Also a wart is a virus it can be inherited and it is in your genes and can pop up and any time or it may never shower up. Look up warts on goggle and you will find it is a virus on less you caught something from a john on some one. See a doctor to make sure you do not have v.w. good luck

No..Well I should say highly unlikely..If you were talking about Genital Warts I would say yes because they along with Herpes can be dormant in the body for years with no symptoms besides flu like symptoms. Later on resulting in outbreaks due to stress. On the other hand, Chlamydia has a lot of physical symptoms White discharge, burning with urination, pain with sex, itching, and bleeding between periods. If your in a monogamous relationship the chances are like 1 in 8 million that it went undetected..Most kids born to mothers with Chlamydia get infected in their eyes and respiratory tract..besides your OB doc would have noticed...If you are married or monogamous then the reality is your spouse cheated on you. Sorry hate to be so straight forward with you, but I've seen about 100 of these same type cases and its always infidelity. Good Luck Hope this helped.

I have had abnormal paps due to HPV infection beginning when I was 17! I have had biopsies, laser and cryo surgeries. The good news is, it CAN get better on its own! A few years ago, I had a pap come back as SEVERE dysplasia...the pap the year before was normal! I had biopsies, and then it was found to be moderate. I was supposed to go back in 4 months...but a year and a half went by, I got married, moved, just forgot I guess. 4 months ago I went back in and it was NORMAL, praise God! I am still supposed to go in every 4 months..until I have had 4 normals..but it DID clear up. I was told to take good care of yourself, and if you smoke, STOP. I guess smoking is sooo bad for your cervical health! I take extra folic acid ( which is proven to stimulate healthy cell growth) I have read  alot on this virus, and it is said that the MAJORITY of young women who have abnormal cervical cells have the HPV virus.  They can tast your blood to be sure. Try not to worry though. Just take care of yourself and get regular paps. :-)

There is no accurate test for the strain of HPV that causes genital warts.  Warts are only diagnosed clinically (by the doctor or nurse looking at them).  Pap smears can detect HPV, but as a prior person said, the strain that causes cervical changes is not the same as the strain that causes warts.  In any case, you can get infected immediately, from one contact, but it does usually take months to develop warts or cervical changes.  \n\nYou can also contract the virus, and never develop symptoms, but pass it on to another partner. \n\nUnfortunately, HPV is a virus that we do not know alot about at this point.

Don't jump onto into the confrontational mode too quickly.  Consider that you or your husband may have become infected before you met, maybe many years ago.  \n\nIt's pretty common for a woman to become aware that she is infected when she gets an abnormal pap smear.  Remember HPV is very, very hard to self-diagnose - the warts are very small and smooth.  Many times people with HPV do not even develop warts.  They may have the virus & can pass it to others.  Many, many people have been infected for years & never knew they carried the virus.  \n\nAsk your OB/GYN if you have the low risk or high risk variety.  High risk can cause cervical cancer.\n\nYou cannot get HPV from toilet seats, or other surfaces.

I would be VERY concerned and you should see your doc... this sounds like a STI to me. Hope i'm wrong....good luck.
