HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can cause warts, an invisible infection only found on pap smear, or, in the worst case scenario, it can cause cervical cancer.  It is important for a woman to have pap smears every year and to keep the number of sexual partners to a minimum to reduce the risk of getting a dangerous strain of the virus.  Men obviously contract the virus too, but they can not be easily diagnosed if they do not have visible warts.  Condoms can reduce transmission, but are not perfect because the virus infects nearby skin too, not just the penus and vagina.

Genital warts and general herpes are two completely different things. Both are viruses and will stay with you the rest of your life. Genital warts are caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus). There are a few ways to get rid of them. You can have them lasered off, frozen off, or use topical medication (creams). Aldara cream is very useful, but very powerful. You are only suppose to use it 3 days a week because you can get 2nd and 3rd degree burns from it. Unfortunately the only way to get Aldara is by going to the doctor and getting a prescription. Hope this helps.

It is a gross question, but a good question anyway.  The wart you get on your finger is a slightly different virus than the one you pass from intercourse.  \n\nI still think it is a good idea to get the wart removed by the doctor, he freezes it and it is a simple procedure.  As for the warts on genitals, have those removed as well.  it is a more difficult procedure, but if you have them, the doc Will sedate you and use a special light and microscope so he/she can zap them all.  Get er done.

everyone is right...genital warts are caused by HPV, which isn't curable.  however, go to a doctor and i'm sure they can provide some sort of treatment plan to help with outbreaks and intensity.

You need to see a doctor.  Genital warts are caused by different strains of HPV (human papiloma virus).  A couple of the strains, when transmitted to women, can lead to cervical cancer.  I think the warts can be removed but you should not have unprotected sex with any woman until tests show that the infection has cleared.

It's very, very common to have pimples on or around your genitals.  They're called sebaceous pockets - usually little lumps that are filled with oil, etc.  They pop like a pimple.  They are not harmful & perfectly natural.\n\nGenital warts do not pop.\nHerpes doesn't really pop, although it oozes a clear fluid.  Herpes does not feel like a pimple would though.

There isn't a "natural" way as far as I know, but they recommend using duct tape to get rid of warts- you could try that..

I was going to say "by being very, very naughty", but there's a reason they're called "genital" warts.  But be aware that herpes and other types of STD's can be transmitted from the genitals to other parts of the body.

HPV is a virus that can cause genital warts and cervical cancer in women.  There are several different strains of the virus, and not all of them cause warts.  It is very difficult to diagnose in men.  In women it is often found during a routine pap smear.\n\nAbout 75% of sexually active young people (25-40) have HPV.\n\nYou can prevent HPV spreading by using condoms.\n\nWebmd has a lot of good information about the virus.

Genital warts is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).  They are permanent and there is no cure.  Your physician may be able to cut or burn them off, but the virus remains in your body forever, which means more growths down there.  And it IS STILL POSSIBLE to spread the virus to others even if you have your current warts removed!!

If you don't have visible warts, then the chance of spreading the virus to someone else is very low.\n\nThere are loads of types of wart virus, and only 2 or 3 that are dangerous to women. Even then, it is thought that they only cause cancer if they are caught while the cervix is undergoing changes - most commonly during adolescence.\n\nYou're right to see a physician - they will confirm if it is warts you have (lots of blokes have nobbly bits on their willies which are glands, but they worry they are warts), and can treat. There are several treatment options, but should all be carried out by a physician - DO NOT try to treat them yourself with wart treatment from a pharmacy - this is one place you don't want to risk burning.\n\nOnce the warts are gone, and your partner definitely doesn't have warts either (they can be harder to spot in women, so it might be a good idea for her to be checked for them), then you should be fine to have sex.\n\nHand warts, can be spread to the genitals, so treat hand warts in both yourself and your partner as well.\n\nHope you get rid of them soon - and good on your for caring about your partner enough to ask this question.

First off, calm down.  They could quite possibly be warts, and they are completely treatable and removable.  You would want to do that before having sex, because it would be extremely inconsiderate of you to share them with another person.  You will not die from them at any rate.  Go see the doctor.  He/she will evaluate them and decide on the best way to remove them.  Normally they are removed either with applications of liquid nitrogen to freeze them, or painting with a mild salicylic acid solution.  It may take several applications to completely remove them, but eventually they will go.\n  You may not even actually have genital warts.  You might just have several flat moles, or raised skin areas.  You will not know for certain until you go see the doctor and have them evaluated.  There is no need to be embarassed about it, or ashamed.  Doctors see it fairly frequently, and treat it.  You wouldn't be the first, and you won't be the last.  As personal as it is to you, it isn't to them.   There is nothing you own that will shock a doctor.  I've been a nurse and paramedic for more than 20 years, and it's not even close the first time I've heard this story.   You won't die from embarassment, and there's no need to be embarassed.  Just make the appointment, and go see the doctor.  You will leave feeling much better and much relieved, I promise.

You might want to go see your doctor to get checked.  It is spread by skin-to-skin contact so wearing protection wont help.  You could possibly get genital warts.  You should do a search on the Internet just type in HPV and it'll give you a lot of different articles you can read up on.  It will also help you understand the severity of the virus.

Warts are a type of infection caused by viruses in the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. There are more than 100 types of HPV viruses. Warts can grow on all parts of your body. They can grow on your skin, on the inside of your mouth, on your genitals and on your rectal area. Some types of HPV tend to cause warts on the skin, while other HPV types tend to cause warts on the genitals and rectal area. Some people are more naturally resistant to the HPV viruses and don't seem to get warts as easily as other people.

Genital warts are caused by a virus. The virus stays in your body forever. However, you need to go and get the wart frozen off at the doctor's office or the local county health department (a lot cheaper). Once they are frozen off, they usually do not reappear although they can. There is nothing you can do without seeing a doctor except continue to spread it around to others and let the virus cause more potential harm to your body.
