Are All Warts Hpv???? Help Please Posted: 04-07-04 06:48am
Back in november my live-in boyfriend got
these pimple like bumps (tiny) on his
lower abdomen and near his genitals. We
looked it up online and deemed that they
were normal...But he still made an
appointment with his primary care
physician (we have the same pcp). The
bunps started to develop into small warts.
They are mostly on his stomach but he
does have 1 wart on his penis. I have
no symptoms. Our Dr. Told him that he
couldn't pass the warts on t me and that
he should just get some compound w to
treat them and come back in 6 weeks. I
had my annual ob/gyn appointment. I told
her about this situation and she said my
bf might have hpv (and therefor so do I we
have been active). She tested me for hpv
but I won't go back to see her until may7.
My bf tried to make an appointment with
a dermatologist or urologist but he needs
a referral from the pcp. He is going to
planned parenthood later this week. My
question is could this be something other
than hpv? If not was it negligent of our
pcp to say he couldn't pass the warts on
to me? I know our society is overly
letigious but I am really upset about this
and I kind of blame the Dr. Please
respond with any insight!!!!
Thank you!

They could be just some regular kind of
wart that cannot be passed onto you.
However, tests should have been done
before the doctor ever said that he could
not pass them to you. Good luck. If it
is hpv, I would be giving that doctor a
piece of my mind!

Might be muscollum contagiosum (sp?)..
Looks like a soft wart, but its not a wart
at all, it is highly contagious, but can
be treated and shouldn't reoccur
