Does Anyone Know?
Posted: 01-26-05 21:59pm

I have been worried that I might have hpv. Does anyone know if it is possible to have only 2 warts without any spreading? And do they have puss in them? And if you poke at them or sqeeze them do they bleed? Also, I have been with my husband for five years and he doesn't have anything like it on him. Is it possible to have them and be sleeping with someone and them not catch it? I'm not sure what they are, does anyone have any idea? I know I need to go to the doctors but I don't have any insurance right now. I guess I should either pay for it or find a free clinic.

Im not 100% sure but I dont think they have puss in them they are just like warts on other parts on your body and if you are pretty sure thats what it is whatever you do dont shave near them or they will spread!!! If you are lucky maybe its just and infected hair it would have puss or maybe bleed

I agree they bleed they are like warts on your hand and he could have the virus and not even have symptoms if that is what it is dont assume you are the one who got it first and the virus could have been in your systems for years... Also hpv is very high rick but warts are treeatable.

Hpv itself does not cause any signs or symptoms. Warts in or near the genital area can often be felt with a finger and are visible to the naked eye.

You probably should stop guessing, but I know how difficult it is to not have health care. But the real question is how is hpv diagnosed?

While a blood test can check for hpv infection, a positive result doesn't really say much. Being infected with hpv does not mean that genital warts will develop.

Genital warts should be reported to a health-care provider. The warts should be biopsied – a sample collected in a minor surgical procedure – to determine if they might go on to cause cancer.

Women should have their first cervical pap smear by age 18 or when they become sexually active, whichever comes first.

An abnormal pap-smear result calls for closer examination. At this point, a colposcope or anoscope – two magnifying devices – are used to look for cancerous or pre-cancerous patches, or lesions, inside the anus or cervix. These lesions are often referred to as either anal or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (ain or cin). If lesions are found, a biopsy can be performed to learn more about the abnormal cells.

This list goes on and on. Your husband will be fine, but try to get to that free clinic to check things out. After all, it's possible that you don't have hpv. You can't or shouldn't symptom search over the net.
