My wife has something called hpv. There
is no symptoms she says she has. But I
think I have genital warts. Did I get it
from her well thats up in the air right.
What doctor do I see for this. How do you
swallow the pride and call. Need help
fast.
My symptoms are skin collered small bumps
around the anus and a couple on the skin
thats between the penis and anus. Im
scared to death, they dont hurt barley
itch no bleeding and going #2 is no
problem. Thanks for your time.

Normally warts are spread by skin to skin
contact so it is hard for me to see that
you do have warts where you say you do
around the anus how did she touch you with
warts around the anus. Anyways what you
are describing do sound like warts and hpv
is the virus that causes warts-- I would
go see your physician or have your wife
ask her obgyn who you should go see you
might be able to just go there. They
will probably treat you with a medication
called aderal it is just a cream that you
put on just the warts not the skin around
them and that should take care of it but
make sure it is warts first!!!

Hpv Posted: 07-07-05 07:34am
I'm a 31 year old female and just found
out I have hpv. External warts can be
removed. Many times a female with hpv
has warts inside the vagina and on the
cervix, so it may be transmitted to the
man that way. Warts can be biopsied to
make sure there are no atypical cells, and
then removed in a variety of ways: creams,
cryosurgery, and other procedures. I
would recommend your girlfriend/wife
(sorry I forgot), have a pap test and a
colposcopy (if she hasn't already) and
have internal and possibly external warts
removed so the virus can go into dormancy.
That way you won't continue to spread it
back and forth. From then on, you just
have to keep an eye on the area and have
anything suspicious checked out and
treated. Don't worry: hpv is sooo
common. It's the most common std out
there and even though there is no cure,
it's very treatable.

Hpv16 Posted: 07-11-05 00:14am
The type of hpv associated with cervical
carcinoma is usually the hpv16, the
invisible one that does not cause warts,
this is usually identified only via pap
abnormalities, males can carry it and not
test positive but can transmit it to other
partners
hpv8 usually causes the ugly warts and
though these can be burned or frozen off
the virus may remain dormant and become
reactivated particularly when the immune
system is suppressed (stress, aids,
cancer)
hpv16 may also be associated with prostate
cancer as there is a high incidence of
this virus in this slow growing cancer in
men
cervical cancer is a big killer in
undeveloped countries particularly in
africa because it is spread and is silent
until untreatable because women do not get
good health care and simple pap smears
there are many associated links between
certain viruses and cancers, this isjust
one of them

Hpv High-risk Posted: 07-12-05 09:56am
Thanks janeysuz,
very helpful information. I am scheduled
to have a cone procedure to remove mild to
moderate dysplasia on and in my cervix.
I have both high and low risk hpv and just
have to keep an eye on my body and
routinely get my paps done. Has anyone
out there had a cone procedure and if so,
can you tell what the experience was like
and what I can expect? I'm very nervous.
Thanks.

Which Hpv? Posted: 08-30-05 11:36am
I have just got back from my doctors (for
something else) but while ther I asked if
he could tell me what strain of hpv I had?
He couldnt find anything in my notes from
the year it was detected2003 as we have
moved house and doctors but I can tell you
that I had no symptoms of it but have read
the post about silent 16 that causes
cancer , do you know if any other strains
do not cause symptoms but still cause
cancer? Grateful for your input
