i was reading a article and it said that some hpv cause warts and some cause cancer.
Studies indicate that women who have HPV are at a much much higher risk for cervical cancer than those who do not. Just because a strain of HPV does or doesn’t cause warts, it would still increase one’s risk of cancer.

Lets say that you have HPV right?? And along with the virus you have an outbreak of Genital Warts. So you get the warts frozen off by your doctor. Even if all the warts are completely gone, if you have unprotected sex with your partner will they still get the virus? Or can they only get the virus during the time of your outbreak?
HPV can be spread whether there are warts present or not.
Just because a person gets the warts treated and they are physically gone, doesn’t mean the virus that causes them is gone too (HPV).
I personally contracted HPV from a man who was showing no signs or symptoms of the virus (like genital warts). I also spread the virus to my fiance and I didn’t have any warts present.
Take care!

what are the odds of bing cure/treated for genital warts from HPV if your A teen and have a healthy immun system!if my body clear the virus how much time will it take to be treated for genital warts and not have it again!
There really is no "cure" for hpv/genital warts; since it’s a virus it supposedly stays in your system forever. I have heard though, that your immune system can get rid of it…it really all just depends. The genital warts are more so "treatable", but HPV is the virus that caused them..so that’s what stays in your system. I found out I had HPV/Genital warts in June and was prescribed Aldara cream. I was told to apply it every other night before bed and then to wash it off in the morning when I woke up. I honestly did this for about a week and a half and they were gone. I didn’t have a severe case, just a small cluster but the cream did wonders for me. If you have genital warts they will probably have you try the cream first, if that doesn’t work there are other treatment possibilities such as laser treatment, getting them frozen off like normal warts or even surgery. Those are usually only used in severe cases. Hope this helped and good luck!
Genital Warts (HPV) Overview
http://www.dermatologistsnyc.com
Genital warts, sometimes referred to as condyloma acuminata, are flesh-colored or gray growths found in the genital area and anal region of both men and women. They represent the most common sexually-transmitted disease caused by a virus. The warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Infection with genital warts may not be obvious.
Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Over 100 types of HPVs have been identified; about 40 of these types have the potential to infect the genital area.

* About 90% of genital warts are caused by two specific types of the virus (HPV-6 and -11), and these HPV types are considered “low risk,” having a low cancer-causing potential. Other HPV types have been strongly associated with premalignant changes and cervical cancers in women. HPV-16 is responsible for about 50% of cervical cancers, and types 16, 18, 31, and 45 together account for 80% of cancers.
* Common warts are not the same as genital warts and are caused by different HPV types that infect the skin.

What STDs do they check for when you are pregnant?
If your pap smear showed that you have HPV (human papilloma virus) is that an STD or just a virus that many people have? HPV causes genital warts, does that mean that genital warts is an STD or just a result of HPV? Thanks!
When I went to Florida, my doctor gave me a copy of my file to take with me. From what I understand from that, my doctor’s office checked for HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. It didn’t say anything about genital warts/HPV, although I suck at reading doctor reports, so I might have missed it.
Since there are so many different strains of HPV, the do classify genital warts as a STD. I used to go to Planned Parenthood for my yearly pap when I was younger, and I know they didn’t test for all the STD’s unless I specifically asked for it. Perhaps some prenatal doctor practices are the same?
I have HPV and have broken out with genital warts. I am currently 38wks pregnant and my doctor said we may have to do a C-Section because of them. How risky is it to give birth vaginally? What are the chances of my baby getting them?
I have HPV too. I will have a c-section. I don’t want to make my child to suffer for my mistakes.
Sadly there is no cure for HPV, and once you are infected you will have it for the rest of your life. However your body can fight it off and the virus itself can become dormant for decades and then reappear, but once the warts have formed they don’t typically regress and require treatment. Although some genital warts can disappear after 2-3 years.

I recently got into a fight with a guy who has genital warts and HPV. Upon us arguing, he then proceeded to get up all the spit he had in his body and spit the big loogie all over my face, which went into my mouth eyes, etc. Im now concerned that I might could get it? Do I need to get tested?
