Q: Hpv-warts
asked by: ChesapeakAbby on July 26th, 2006

I have been tested pos. For contact with hpv. My pap's are irregular and the Dr. Has not informed me it is not the type that causes warts, but makes it seem that way because we keep testing for cancer. My boyfriend developed a "skin tag", at least thats what patient first Dr. Told him it was. It's on the under shaft of his penis 1/3 way down. The area seems to be getting more shriveled/tougher... Should I make him go to the Dr. Again?

The hpv you have is the kind that can lead to cervical cancer. It is called high risk hpv. A lesser hpv is the kind that causes warts. You can have more than one kind of hpv.

Pap smears show cell changes, that can be biopsied and surgically removed.

Your body can rid itself of hpv. Up to 85% of the sexually active population has had hpv. Some people never develop symptoms, like dysplasia, or cervical abnormalities.

Don't smoke. Take vitamins and eat right.

Good luck!

Ps. As far as your boyfriend is concerned, what would it hurt to go to the doctor?
