Q: Genital Warts and Displasia
asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 28th, 2006
I found out that I had genital warts 3 years ago. Since then I have gotten married, and told my husband about the problem before we ever had intercourse. Now I have found out that I have severe dysplagia on my cervix and my husband and I have a few questions. Can the genital warts be transmitted only when there is an outbreak? And is this condition with my cervix considered an outbreak? Also, if he continues giving me oral sex, will he get these warts in his mouth? AND... if we get them in our mouth, can be give this to my son by kissing him? Thanks, and I hope you can answer these questions for me.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases Answer A314
Genital warts are caused by the Human Papiloma Virus (HPV). There are many types of HPV. Some types of HPV attack the skin, some the mucosa (genital, oral, anal) and some types attack both the skin and the mucosa. Further, there exist genital sero-types of HPV that are associated with cervical cancer. These cause displasia of the cervical mucosa that can be transformed into a cancer. That’s why the displasia is called "precancerous". Severe cervical displasia (gr.III) is a very serious condition and should be treated surgically (conisation) to prevent the development of cancer. HPV-infections can be transmitted by oral sex and there are chances (small) that infections are transmitted by simple kissing. My advice to you is to START TREATING YOUR HPV-INFECTION and displasia BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!
