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.
