a Genital Wart In His Mouth??? Posted: 04-09-04 12:37pm
My boyfriend has hpv, I knew that, but
recently he started getting them in his
mouth, on the inside of his lips, if he
gave my daughter a kiss could she transmit
it, or since i've been kissing him, not
just a peck like he gives my daughter, but
pretty hot and heavy kissing can I
contract it??? Please help, i'm so
worried about my daughters health, can she
get it from sharing a drink or food with
him , since their on his lip????

Dont rely 100% on this but im pretty sure
than genital warts only happen on the
genitals. Its probably some mouth thing
like ulcers.

Yes You Can Have Hpv Orally. Posted: 06-09-04 01:26am
Yes you can have hpv in your mouth. By
giving someone oral sex you can contract
the virus in your throat/mouth. Also
women with the virus if are pregnant will
most likely deliver by c-section only
because if they have warts along the birth
canal, have a chance of having their child
born with warts in their throat.
You don't need to worry about your
boyfriend giving them to your daughter.
If he kisses her it is very unlikely that
she could contract the virus. Now you on
the other hand could, simply because it is
transmitted by skin to skin contact. So
it would have to be from the actual wart
touching the inside of your mouth.
The best thing to do, so that you don't
get the virus is see if he can possibly
get them removed. Because it is a viral
disease, it is uncurable. There are
different strains of the virus though.
Some show warts, some don't, some make
cervical cells cancerous, some won't.
Because he obviously has a strain that
produces visible warts, he should get them
removed. They may go away on their own,
they may reappear, or may go away
completely after removal. He still has
the virus even though the warts are gone,
so make sure that if you all are sexually
active, that you use protection because
you can still contract the virus even
without visible warts.
This virus is a lot worse for women, than
for men. As I said earlier some strains
of it can make women's cervical cells
abnormal leading to cervical cancer which
can kill women. So good luck in the
future. If you have any more questions
don't hesitate to ask.

Sorry I also forgot your question of
sharing a drink. Because it is a skin to
skin contact disease saliva will not
transmit it. So if your boyfriend shares
a drink with your daughter the saliva will
not be enough to transmit the disease. He
would actually have to touch one of the
warts to her mouth (contact-to-contact).
I am in nursing and so that is why I know
so much of this disease. Again hope to
help.

Herpes Transmission Posted: 12-01-04 08:09am
There is no way to know how you will or
will now transmit herpes. Many people
will act like experts, and many genuinely
are. We know very little about the cause
of the recurrances and how herpes can
spread, or even how it hides. Herpes not
only mutates within you it has over 60
million infections in the us, that is the
most infections of any rna type virus.
The best rule is to be extra careful, and
remember this virus wants to be spread,
and during the shedding period(where you
see something) do not take any chances.

One More Thing Posted: 12-01-04 08:26am
Herpes can be transmitted very easily by
kissing to a baby. A baby does not have
the white bool cell count we ahve and
would be easily infected if they were
kissed. Read up on it, do a herpes search
on google and read about transmision.
