dose it mean if you have genital warts, you can have hiv?

They are two separate STDs. Talk to your doctor about this. Having genital warts is not a sign of HIV.

no but the virus that causes genital warts can cause cancer in some woman , I would get a pap often if I were you

genital warts usually are pasted from partner to partner during an outbreak.I would use protection though because your partner can be vulnerable to an out brake and not have signs aware to the human eye.Avoid unproductive sex when sick because the immune system is not strong enough and you can very much allow you to become infected.Once you have been exposed the virus stays in your system and you become a carrier.

Genital warts are the most common STD there is.  I read somewhere that over 90% of all humans carry it.\nAre genital warts serious?\n\n    * They can be. For most people warts are only a bother, and are treated if you wish. If a woman has warts on the cervix (opening to the womb), they can be a problem. It is rare, but sometimes having warts can cause a woman to have a pap smear that is not normal, (including changes that may lead to cancer). For this reason, women with warts on the cervix should have a pap smear test (part of a pelvic exam) every six months to one year. Men and women who have warts on or inside the anus should have an exam every year.

Possibly. If the person giving you a blow job has a small cut or sore in their mouth, and you have a cut or sore on your penis then you can get HIV, not AIDS. AIDS develops from contracting HIV. HIV can only be spread from blood to blood contact. It's always best to protect yourself.

This really depends on the STD.  Herpes, which causes sores, is totally different than HPV, which causes warts.\n\nIt is entirely possible to be in a relationship with someone who has either one of these and not get it.\n\nIf someone has either infection genitally, there is no danger from kissing or hugging.\n\nYou should really check out www.ashastd.org for more info on both of these, and find out specifically what your partner has.  Both are managable, and HPV should clear fomr the body in about 2 years.

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.

Genital warts are a virus, called Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There are over 230 different virus types that are considered HPV. \n\nYou need to see your doctor or gynecologist and have the test for HPV. Once a positive result is achieved, there are several ways to get rid of the warts. Keep in mind that the VIRUS itself never goes away, even if all of the warts are removed. An outbreak can happen at any time. Be sure and tell any sexual partners you may have in the future that you have warts, because they are contageous (obviously).\n\nUse of condoms during sex will prevent the spread of HPV. \n\nTypically, if the outbreak is small, the biopsy of the wart can remove it. If not, there is laser treatment. If that doesn't work, then your doctor can freeze them off.\n\nInbetween your test for HPV, biopsy, and a single given treatment, you will need to have a pap smear to determine the results. \n\nAfter you are wart-free for a full six months, your ob/gyn will go back to recommending a pap smear annually. \n\nGo to www.webmd.com for more information on what HPV is, how to test for it, and treatment options. Please visit your doctor, soon, though, because *some* of the HPV viruses (about 20, in fact) may lead to cervical cancer over time.

No ... Having HIV has nothing to do with catching an STD.  And just because HIV lowers your immune system, has nothing to do with whether you'd catch another STD or not.  You catch STD's when you have unprotected sex - period.

Genital warts (or condyloma, or condylomata acuminata) is a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection. Caused by some variants of the Human papillomavirus, typically HPV 6 and HPV 11, it is spread during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. \n\nGenital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.\n\nDepending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a doctor will offer you one of several ways to treat them.\n\nImiquimod, (Aldara®) a topical immune response cream which you can apply to the affected area \nA 20% podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which you can apply to the affected area and later wash off \nA 0.5% podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but shouldn’t be washed off \nA 5% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cream \nTrichloroacetic acid (TCA) \nPulsed dye laser \nLiquid nitrogen cryosurgery \n\nAlthough treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of the HPV virus, so warts can recur after treatment. The body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 6 months to two years, but it occasionally remains in the body for a lifetime.[1] The state of the immune system determines the chances of ridding the virus entirely, and can be affected by factors such as HIV infection, certain medications, stress, or illness.[2] There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body's immune response.

In the case of herpes, venereal warts, and the human papillomavirus [HPV], chances are you can, as these often infect the genitals and the mouth simultaneously in most instances. For other STD's [HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia], chances are slimmer, but it's still possible. You should always use a latex condom before any kind of sexual contact.

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.

Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a type of virus that infects the epithelial layer (the outer layer or covering) of the skin and mucous membranes. Over 70 different types of HPV have been identified. The various types of HPV each have a tendency to infect specific areas of the body.\n\nThe most common manifestation of HPV is warts. This includes warts on the skin such as plantar warts or common warts, and warts in the genital area, known as genital warts. However, many types of HPV do not cause warts or any other symptoms.\n\nGenital HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. At least 80 percent of sexually active women will have acquired an HPV infection by age 50.\n\nIt is important because certain types of genital HPV infection have been associated with an increased risk of changes in the cells of the cervix, including precancerous conditions and cervical cancer. Other genital tissues (vulva, vagina) may also show precancerous changes or cancer possibly related to HPV infection, but this occurs less frequently than cervical cell changes.\n\nGenital HPV is spread through direct physical contact such as intercourse, oral sex, anal sex, or any other contact involving the genital area (eg, hand to genital contact).\n\nSome types of HPV can cause genital warts, which may be associated with discomfort such as itching, burning, or tenderness in the genital area. However, most women with sexually transmitted HPV do not have any symptoms at all.\n\nWomen who test positive for an HPV infection may have acquired the infection days to a year or more prior to the diagnosis.\n\n****\n****\nThere is currently no treatment that is effective against the HPV itself. Women with genital warts may be treated with agents designed to reduce or remove the warts, including creams, oral medications, or surgery. In women who have HPV with no symptoms, the infection usually goes away without treatment, although infection with the higher risk types of HPV may linger for some time.\n\nResearch on a vaccine to treat or prevent infection is underway.\n\nHope this helped.\n\nBest of luck.\n\n-yes, I'm a doctor.

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.

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.

I suppose you can get warts just about anywhere - although I have not heard about warts on the eyes/tear ducts.  It could simply be a sty.\n\nIf you do have a wart on your tear duct, it would almost certainly not be the type that is transmitted sexually.  HPV is a huge family of viruses that cause warts.  Some types of HPV like your fingers, others the bottoms of your feet, and some like the genitals.  \n\nThe type that like your genitals will not transmit to your fingers or other body parts, and the same goes for warts on your fingers - they will not transmit to your gentials.\n\nAs for HPV causing cervical cancer - there are high risk & low risk types.  Low risk usually does not cause cervical cancer, and high risk may.  High risk HPV on the cervix usually does not cause warts.  A Pap smear will show changes in cells, and a doctor can order further tests.
