My gyn confirmed yesterday that I do have
A typical squamous cells and that he will
be doing a colposcopy soon. He also said
my former boyfriend is undoubtedly a
carrier. In speaking to my former
boyfriend, I told him that every woman he
is with sexually from now on out, he holds
their lives in his hands if he doesn't use
protection.
There are 8 or 9 warts on the back of my
leg just below the knee and on the other
leg some too. Can you get warts from the
type of HPV that causes them on other
parts of your body besides vaginally?
Thank you.

I know that HPV can cause both. There are
tons of different strains of HPV, some
cause vaginal warts, some cause cervical
cancer, some just cause warts.

All warts are caused by HPV, but each
strain of HPV has a particular preference
for where it can occur -- for example,
plantar warts only happen on the bottoms
of your feet, while genital warts only
occur on the genitals, and cervical HPV
only occurs (you guessed it) on the
cervix. The kinds of warts you have on
your legs wouldn't at all affect your pap
smear. Good luck with your colposcopy!
