Hpv?

HPV is the human wart virus. There are a number of different strains. Some cause warts on hands and feet, some cause genital warts; others don't cause visible warts but can lead to cervical cancer. HPV is normally spread by contact. A condom will help if it prevents contact with the warts, but it won't help if it doesn't.It sounds like your girlfriend has a non-wart strain, which can sometimes lead to cervical cancer, but usually doesn't. You should check this out with her and her doctor. As far as I know those strains cause no symptoms in males, though obviously you'd prefer not to get it and possibly be a carrier. With these varieties condoms should help.

that's great news . thanks. just to clarify, she didn't have visible warts. is it possible she had them inside? also, she mentioned that she found out two yrs ago, when an ex bf was seen with a few lumps on the penis. she didn't develop cervic cancer til recently which is when she was had a biopsy of her cervic, and was finally told that she might have hpv. she phoned an ex bf who said he didn't have any problems, and this was 8mths later. is this good neews?this is freakin me out, like i don't know what to expect. a friend said hpv is actually herps. is this true? also is strating a family out the the question? so many qs. pls help....this feels crazy?was she wreckless...?

Yes, vaginas can grow warts on the inside.Her boyfriend (or X) doesn't matter, what matters is the fact that she has it and what she can do to treat it.No, she wasn't necessarily "wreckless" anyone can get them even using a condom.And most importantly, HPV is NOT herpes!
