Can genital warts be caused by the same virus that causes warts on the restof your body? I had wrote a message a few days ago about my husband possibly having gw's and I got no response. Turns out he does have genital warts and he did cheat on me, but he says it was only oral sex. On top of all the problems that arose from all of this I feel very let down. I now possibly have HPV because of no fault of my own. We have been together for 7 years - never once had I ever thought this would be how things would come to be. I have so many questions. I know the possibilty of me having it is very very large, and this is concerning. If you have HPV- can you ever have unprotected sex again? Can I ever give him oral sex? Weither or not we stay together is besides the point right now, but if we were to be together, Could we ever have a normal sexual realtionship- If I do not have the virus? And if I do have HPV Can I continue to have sex with him and not comprimise ourselves to larger breakouts? And if we must have protected sex- Is there a way for us to conceive besides artificially? But, I do need to know if there is a way these could not be the sexually transmitted GW"S or if such a thing exsists. My husband has had a very large problem with warts on his body since I met him 7 years ago, His hands arms legs everywhere. he recently had a breakout on his hand which spread to his arm. He also has 3 warts on his pubic area. It seems to me all these bumps just popped up out of nowhere. The doctor did send home a information sheet that said genital warts were caused by the same virus that causes warts on the rest of the body. If this is true, and the genital warts that are caused by this are in fact cntagious, Wouldn't this mean anyone with a wart could give HPV to anyone they touched? I'm very confused, hurt and alone. I appreciate any feedback I can get.

There are over 120 different kinds of HPV; about 30 of those kinds are sexually transmitted. Genital warts are a part of those 30 kinds or sexually transmitted kinds.

You can have unprotected sex with your husband, however, you are taking a chance of contracting the virus yourself. But, even with condom use, it's still possible for you to contract the virus. HPV can be spread by DIRECT skin to skin contact alone. Since the condom only covers the penis, and not the entire genital area, just the rubbing back and forth of the genital areas during sex is enough to spread the virus.

Also, any kind of sex can spread HPV, even oral sex. A person can develop warts in the mouth (it's VERY rare though).

Warts on the arms, legs, elbows, hands, etc, are also caused by HPV, but these are NON sexual kinds of HPV. They can still be passed by DIRECT skin to skin contact, but they are not considered a STD because they don't affect the genital area and they are not spread sexually (vaginal sex, anal sex, or oral sex).

Also, it is still VERY possible for you to conceive. But, like I said before, if you have sex with him (protected or not), you are taking the chance of contracting the virus. Even if you do contract HPV, it's still possible for you to have a healthy baby. HPV can be passed to the baby during birth if the mother has genital warts at the time of delivery, but this is REALLY rare and can be avoided by having a C-section done.

I hope this cleared up some of the confusion! If you have anymore questions about HPV feel free to email me! Good luck and take care!

1- yes, absolutely. you can hpv that is not doing anything and someone else gets it and develops warts. all depends on the immune system. also, smokers tend to have more active and aggressive hpv, does he smoke cigarettes? 2-if you are less than 30 yrs old, they usually dont even run the hpv test unless the pap is abnormal or you have a history. if you are over 30 then the hpv is done automatically. Most girls under 30 do have hpv, that is why they dont even do the test unless there is an abnormality. If the test was not run and you want to know if you have high risk hpv, ask the doctor to send the test. but remember, if you have it there is nothing you can do about it anyway. If you are under 26, ask your doctor about the vaccine 3- it is possible for you to have not been infected. nothing is 100% in medicine 4-yes, though molluscum usually looks different but he can have them biopsed if he really wants to know for sure

Beware: Certain strains of Human Papilloma Viruses cause cervical cancer.
Genital warts are hyperplastic, sometimes pedunculated lesions of the skin or mucous membranes of the genitals caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Some HPV types cause flat endocervical or anal lesions that are precancerous. Diagnosis is clinical. Multiple treatments exist, but few are highly effective. Genital warts may resolve without treatment in immunocompetent patients but may persist and spread in patients with decreased cell-mediated immunity (eg, HIV infection).

HPV is most common STD in young sexually active; more than 80 strains exist. Infections can be latent(asymptomatic). Most common strains 6 & 7 cause warts. The incidence of HPV in young sexually active women is high. Risk factors include being sexually active, having multiple partners, or having a partner who has or has had multiple partners. If you have HPV have reg pap smears every 6 mo for several yrs because it ^ risk for cervical cancer. Women are often exposed to it by a partner who is unknowingly a carrier. Condoms can prevent transmission, but it can also occur during skin-to-skin contact in areas not covered by condoms. Even after treatment, you may have recurrences; avoid sexual contact until lesions are healed. All sex partners need to be treated and use condoms during sex. The one thing I'm not exactly sure about: some std do make it harder to conceive but I do not believe this is one...but some std as a patient are not allowed to vaginally deliver child due to risk of transmission of std to child.I believe genital warts would be reason to deliver via a C-section. Some std such as chlamydia & gonorrhea can cause blindness if present in vagina during delivery, so pt has deliver via C-section. Having certain std ^ risk for HIV and other std. Genital Herpes is a recurrent life-long viral infection that causes lesions or blisters on the cervix, vagina, & external genitalia. It is transmitted sexually & asexually transmitted (from wet surface or by self-transmission cold sore) The initial infection is very painful and last about 1 wk or asymptomatic. Flu-like symptoms may occur 3 or 4 days after lesion appear. With herpes, lesions periodically reactivates in times of stress, menses, and fever. Practice good handwashing!!!!!!Very Important!!! Use condoms!! Speak with your gynecologist about pregnancy related issues. Remember men are usually asymptomatic and us women get the painful and embarrassing warts, lesions, blisters. Good luck! Also consider some marriage counseling and think about is your husband going to repeat his behavior which will continue to ^ your risk! Some std are curable, some are not and have really embarrasing symptoms, and I can only imagine the feeling it gives you that not only you might have an std but your doctor knows your husband is unfaithful. God bless you and take care!

Moles, warts, and epidermis tickets are common skin wounds that develop naturally. Although they're generally non malignant, they could be awkward if situated on an obvious part such as the face. Epidermis lesions like moles and warts cause self-confidence issues to the sufferers. An individual with moles normally becomes a loner because they don't want to be observed in public. They feel ashamed to be out in public areas, therefore despair will normally follow but now you can change all of this with this particular information from here https://tr.im/JPm58 , Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal eBook.
