Question 3

i have a hpv and did a mistake: i touched my mother's shower sponge after masturbated, with my sperm smeared hand(before this  washed my hand but not enough  think). and then my mother took a shower. what  will do? please help?

Accepted Answer

Clean the shower: When a college-aged man uses a shower stall or tub he shares with a parent, he can rinse items he uses or touches. Routine rinsing is fine; no overdoing it. Walls, floor, and fixtures of the shower can be cleaned with typical cleaners, such as lime-removing cleaner one week with mildew-removing cleaner the next week (but not together). This has little to do with HPV. It's just nice to help Mom!

Anal PAP: Along with cervical PAP, talk to your doctor about doing anal PAP as well.

i've been using bleach everyday to clean my hands/fingers after shower/toilet, my clothes n everything for 2months since diagnosed with hpv n genital warts.is it true, hpv virus dna can be detected on finger/object?my skin burned so much from bleach.

Accepted Answer

That's not good: Not good, for many reasons. First, everybody can ask for a vaccine, and many will qualify to get it, thus getting rid of HPV anxiety. Secondly, we now know that excessive cleanliness is detrimental to health. We humans need a good balance of microbes ON ourselves and IN our guts. Thirdly, a beautifully smooth, intact skin surface sheds germs, chemicals, etc... Don't mess up the skin surface.
