Would you have a relationship with someone (have sex with them) if they had HPV (genital wart virus)?

Alot of people have that and dont know it - If you really care for that person than thats a different story -it would be wise not to have sexual intercourse when they have breakouts-as to not infect you -though I  think you can still get it - the warts can be removed by freezing them -Dermatologists can do this- a friend of mine had to go through with this and he said it was extemely painful but worth it though  they can still return - \nHonestly this disease is not that bad compared to Aids or other diseases - its just like if you get warts on your hands  except you can get them on your genitals - its just an extra thing you would have to live with and maintain - my friend is now married and he has 2 kids -his wife was very understanding to his condition -and luckly she has never gotten them -though she could have them and just never break out - Anyway - its a decision you have to really think about and make sure its not something will be fine with now but not later -its something you must be able to accept for the long haul and if the realtionship doesn't workout you would have to take in consideration that you may walk away from that relationship with HPV - but if you really feel like this person is special and may even be the one then no amount of pesky little warts should keep you from experiencing that type of love or relationship - like I said there are far more worse things out there -even Herpes is about the same risk as HPV - but keep in mind HPV and Herpes can be linked to causing some cervical cancers if not kept an eye on with yearly visits to the DR - hope this helps

You have to think about it logically: Most sexually transmitted diseases are passed on through moistness IE. body fluids. So, you have to know that the person giving you oral haven't been with someone else before you. The viruses can stay undetected in the mouth for some time. Also its probably not the best thing to have oral sex with someone who has obvious mouth problems or sores/ rashes in the mouth or genitalia

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.

Yes, hpv is a serious disease, as it frequently causes cervical cancer in women, rectal cancer in those on the receiving end of sodomy, and rarely cancer of the penis in a man.  Yes, you can have kids, and they aren't likely to get it at birth.  But cervical cancer can lead to early infertility, by requiring a hysterectomy, and even by causing early death of a woman.  Condoms do not prevent the spread of hpv.

"Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own."

Only if she has AIDS. If neither of you has the virus you will be fine.Although you shouldn't be having unprotected sex if you are this misinformed about the ways STDS and AIDS is transmitted.

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 don't believe that. Whether you have the warts or not, you still have the virus. HPV is not curable. The only thing you can do is treat it. As long as you have HPV you will be able to pass it. \n\nI have HPV and I have developed genital warts and cervical cancer from it. Even though I have treated both, I CAN still pass the virus. It's the same with genital herpes. Even if you aren't having an outbreak you CAN still pass the virus.

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.

fisrt of all u have to see that he has an active wart or not if he has he can go to the dermatologist and then they can fizing that for him .....when there is no wart in his genitalia area the risk of transmited to u woill be decrease so much...of course HPV as a virus has no treatment completly and i dunno why u are so scared of that ...i know there is some type of HPV has related to servix cancer or methaplasy of it but they are not too much type (16,18,31,33,35 )and others are fine type....if he use condoms then the risk for transmited will be 0 and then no need to be worry even if u have un protected sex with him and he has no active wart the risk of transmited will be too low...then i advice u to both go to a dermatologist or even ur gynecologist and start ur relationship...ab vaccine u said cuz most of the virus change their version then maybe it wont be useful so much....

Yes, the condition called genital warts really is an STD. The official name is HPV or Human Papilloma Virus. Transmission of the virus can occur even when sexual activity is not taking place. That means that if you had skin-to-skin contact with someone who has HPV, you can still get this disease, even though you are a virgin. \n\n\nYou should take a look at these websites. Women are more vulnerable to it than men, and HPV is a known potential cause of cervical cancer. \n\nGreat percentage of likelihood of preventing or "catching" this cancer if diagnosed in early stages. So if you are female and have it or are male and know that you may have passed it on to a female partner, please read the websites about what you can do - for yourself and for them. :)

it's not the amount of sexual activity that causes hpv, it's having unprotected sex with someone who already has hpv.

It depends on if she's sleeping with nice conservative men, in which case she's unlikely to ever get HPV, or if she's sleeping with drug-addled liberal men, in which case she probably gave them some kind of disease in trade, and that makes it fair.\n\n----------------------------------\n\nGODDAMN "cantcu" knows way too much about cervical cancer. Got a little lifestyle problem there, cantcu?\n\n----------------------------------

Yes! There are a lot of STDS you can get by skin to skin contact or rubbing.\n\nIf a person has genital herpes you can get it by rubbing genital areas together. Even if the person is not having an outbreak, they can be shedding the virus after the sores have disappeared. \n\nHPV is another STD you can by rubbing genital areas together. If the person has genital warts (caused by HPV) and the other person rubs up against them, they can contract HPV.\n\nCrabs (Pubic Lice) is also spread by direct skin to skin contact (like rubbing).\n\nChancroid is another STD that can be spread by direct skin to skin contact.\n\nGonorrhea (Clap) can be spread by any very close physical contact.\n\nScabies can be spread through close contact or through sleeping in bedding or wearing clothes that are infested. Rarely, holding or shaking hands can transmit scabies.\n\nSyphilis can be spread by intimate touching or kissing.

its not that big of a deal but then it is, there are alot of people walking around with HPV and don't know they have it one in every four women have it and men can't even get tested for it unles they have a genital wart outbreak thats what people don't tell you, a REAL man or woman if they love you for you will accept what is not your fault I can say this because I know people who have it, its not something you just blurt out to everybody but if you truly care about someone and you want them to be a definite part of your life they won't care, and then you should tell them . Not every guy needs to know what you are going through if it is you going through it. You can not trust everybody, but protection is always the key!

Unless the female he's been having sex with has a disease such as, say, herpes, hpv, siphillis, gonorrhea, crabs... no.

HPV is hard to test for in men, unless they have the actual warts, which are generally painless. People can be carriers and never show any signs. Pap smears can show whether or not women have it, so it's important to have them regularly. If your boyfriend has the warts on his penis, there is a prescription cream called aldera that can get rid of them. If you have HPV, you will probably have to get cryotherapy, freezing of the cervix, and your gyno can probably do it right in the office. HPV is not the end of the world, 1 in 3 people have it, it is the most common STD. Over time, your body will become immune to the virus and purge itself. Warts do not go away by themselves, you do have to treat them. I hope I helped you, IM me if you need more info.
