The virus is pass through contact with an infected person. HPV causes genital warts, and it is a common virus. Presumably, any bodily fluid could be a vector for viral transmission, including blood, saliva, semen and the like. Intact skin would not usually permit transmission of any disease.  Since sexual activity involves mucous membranes (vagina rectum or glans penis), this is not skin, technically, and you can get infected this way.\nAny unprotected sexual contact could transmit HPV, gonorrhea, syphyllis, and Herpes, HIV, etc. They are all cause by viruses or microorganisms (in the case of Syphyllis and gonorrhea).

There are only a couple strains of HPV that cause warts - there are another couple that cause cervical cancer - hence the recomendation for a yearly PAP test. There are about 15 more strains that do not progress to cancer but do show as an unusual PAP result. It gets spread by the men - who have no idea they have it. It is a virus on the skin so condoms don't protect. So us women go around thinking this is some gross thing that only we have. Just as many men do - figuring about 85% of the population - they just don't get symptoms. So just who do you think you will be protecting by telling your partner you have HPV. He probably does too - but has no way of knowing. So get over the guilt. Unless this is a cancer causing strain - and only a small percentage of those ever turn to cancer - there is no need to tell, because there is no way to work around it, except to support your own health with good nutrition, rest and stress reduction. It isn't like herpes where you avoid contact during flare ups. HPV is there all the time but will cause changes in the cells when your own immunity is down.   As for the skin changes - that is a totally unrelated. Good luck kid - and keep researching beyond the limited feedback your doctor has given you.

As Long as sperm can come out it can get you pregnant. The question is do you want to curse your offspring with small penis genes. I wouldn't.

any time you have sex there is a chance of getting pregnant and std's. didn't you listen in sex ed class? aren't parents talking to their children about sex anymore? what ever happened to "THE TALK"? the chances increase greatly a week or so after your period, but there is always a chance. go ask your science teacher, she'll tell you.

Chances are he already knows a lot about it.  Kids are finding out at younger and younger ages about sex.  First, you have to find out what he THINKS he knows (a lot of the peer information is also incorrect).  Then, you have to make sure you are open and honest, letting him know he can always come to you with questions.  Most importantly, you must remain calm.  Otherwise, you may not be able to build a form of open communication between the two of you.  Most children and parents have certain ways of talking to each other, through jokes or activities, maybe you are comfortable enough to go in his room and speak to him outright about it.  That's something you'll have to decide. I've included two links with further information.  The first is an article on the subject.  The second link is a site entirely devoted to talking to kids about difficult subjects.  Good luck.

It all depends on if they are still producing viable sperm.  In order to know for sure they would have to be tested by there doctor.  There is an at home test kit available, but it has been deemed inaccurate so he should see his doctor.

ok chill, tell him the darn truth, nothing is 100% except no sex, i know you did not plan this, but you have been given a wonderful gift , and if he has trouble with that, dna will prove he is the father, one lie leads to another. i also got pregnant with the iud, the dr. said it may have came out of place, if you have sex to soon after you get one this can happen. or maybe you were with child before you got it? either way that baby is a fighter, take care of yourself and enjoy your baby. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS.

how about professional use of the English language honey...if you had sex with out a condom he did...there really is no way around it...a small amount of fluid comes out before hand so don't be silly, use condoms.

It can be normal.  Some people are naturally proned to getting warts.  Some have them their whole lives and some develope them as they get older.  They my have warts constantly growing on their hands, chest, face, etc.   The warts come back no matter how much treatment is done.\n\nYou should still get these check.  You can catch some VD in a public bathroom or through shaking hands with someone who did not wash after masturbating and then using the bathroom yourself.

That is the totally wrong way to tell your kids about sex.  You don't show your 5 year old your penis.  At 5 you don't tell them anything, if you have to tell them that you guys were just horse playing.  Then when they are about 13-15 then you tell them about sex.  They are way to young to get the concept about sex.

If you don't know, then you are too young.  Someone needs to have a discussion with your health teacher.  If this topic is going to be discussed, all aspects of it should be covered.

It's conceivable, if he ejaculates in the area of your genitals, that some of the sperm could end up inside your vagina and cause impregnation; it's extremely unlikely, though.

Man alot of people up here have to brush up on their knowledge of sperm or getting pregnant.  I have read alot of answers from people saying you can pregnant from swallowing sperm! NOT TRUE! It doesn't go to the same place as it would when you have sex and get pregnant.  \nSome girl (probably 11 or so) asked if you could get pregnant from kissing a guy. Wow I had a good laugh about that one!\n\nAnd as for your actual question, no I don't think it's healthy, and besides that it's nasty and tastes bad!

No, any sort of sexual contact with the warts will do it, even sharing a bath towel, though that would be unusual.  \nThis site has lots of great information.  Remember, knowledge is power!
