HPV is one of the most common STDs. There are over 100 different kinds. Most people don't even know they have it. I have read that about 75-80% of the world has HPV and only about 20some% of them know they have the virus. The first guy is just completely wrong, I am shocked how many people think HPV (genital warts) and herpes are the same virus. They are two completely different viruses that have nothing to do with one another. I would know because I have both of those viruses.
HPV can cause genital warts, hand and feet warts and many different kinds of cancer including cervical cancer, penile cancer, anal cancer and head and neck cancer.
You don't need to have any warts present to spread the virus. Most people have no signs of the virus and it can take months and even years for them to develop. I have had HPV for over 5 years and about 7 months ago I developed genital warts. It took me 4 1/2 years to develop them!
Your friend most likely got it from someone he had sex with. Since most people don't know they have the virus they can spread it around to many people they sleep with unknowingly.
Also, you can NOT get HPV (which causes genital warts) from sharing clothing or by using a toilet or shower after someone who has the virus. HPV is only spread by skin to skin contact and by sex.

Moles, warts, and skin tags are common skin wounds that develop naturally. While they're typically non cancerous, they can be embarrassing if found on a visible part such as the face. Skin wounds like moles and warts cause self-confidence problems to the sufferers. An individual with moles normally becomes a loner since they do not want to be observed in public. They think uncomfortable to be out in public areas, so despair may obviously follow but you can now modify all this with this particular information from here https://tr.im/jUUnN , Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal eBook.

HPV is a "loving virus". He more than likely picked up the virus from the stripper and not you. Bodily fluids have to come in contact to spread the virus. Even though she showed no signs of the virus, does not mean that she did not have it. It could have been in a latent (dormant) phase. Once again, even though the virus is in the dormant phase, it can still be spread. Ease your mind, he did not get the virus from you. The virus does not do well outside of the body.

I've had the exact same experience and would love to help. My friends and I were best friends as kids and re United just before leaving high school. We were having a sleepover where we shared beds, she randomly started touching my belly and boobs and I let her then we made out and soon our clothes were off. She sucked my nipples, fingereded and licked. I had to rush out of her house next morning because of an emergency and never contacted her since but I think she was a lesbian it bisexual:)

Even if there are no outside signs of warts, it is still possible to spread herpes if you have them. I would have the stripper checked out, it is unlikely that he got them from clean shorts. The herpes virus would have died after that long with no host organism.
