I have them and they itch! Not constantly but when they are moist or air gets near them. They are all around my vaginal and anal area. I noticed it at ten weeks. I've had sex and have not given the warts to the guy. %1 of men in contact with HPV will contract warts. Depends on his immune system. The reason we get it while we are pregnant is because our immune systems are down and unable to fight it like it has been. I make sure to keep clean though. I monitor them myself and I ask the doc new questions every visit. They will more than likely go away once the pregnancy is over. They are not expected to stay with you once your immune system has built itself back up. They look like warts more when they are on the actual tissue of the vagina, if not they probably just look like a rash or razor bumps.

i understand that this may make you feel all different kinds of ways. Embarassed, mad, sad, and those types of feelings should be the last to come to mind (in my opinion). I was a 18 when I found out I had this. Once I researched HPV I lost all those feelings. There is no way for a man to know he would be passing this to me. So how can I be mad at him or myself? I could have sent him to the doctor even after the fact but there are no tests for it. He obviously had no symptoms... I wasn't sad once I read that it can go away and definitely because I knew that I did not have the cancerous or wart causing types. I was not embarassed when I read how common and how many people actually have HPV.
I did get chlamydia passed to me once and I got mad and sad and embarassed and everything else (lol) and I don't think anyone should be okay with this. That can be tested for and can be prevented. Most other STD's are a different case.
RESEARCH>And if you don't trust your doctor ( i read in another forum) you need to get a new one. You are paying your money to this person. Trust is a part of their profession.

I had HPV when i was 16 and it has just come back at age 34. I guess it didnt go away and lay dormant. Not too worried either and i am trying to get pregnant. I had to have a cervical biopsy which came back with abnormal cells and have to have another biopsy (corp) in 6 month. I was assured though as it was low risk i can still have the test, pregnant or not so fingers crossed.
