Question 1

genital hpv wart on buttocks are common? or on thigh is common?

Accepted Answer

: There are many strains of HPV. While the typical genital strains can possibly cause warts in non-genital areas, it is much more likely that such warts are either caused by a different HPV strain or are not caused by HPV at all. Freezing these lesions is typically effective treatment in either case.

Question 2

i am told that genital warts can appear on one's thighs? what other parts of an hpv positive person's body  can spread it?

Accepted Answer

HPV and our bodies: Hpv can infect and appear on any part of one's body.  There are many strains of this common virus. But, thirteen of the strains can cause cancer in the cervix, the rectum and throat.

These thirteen strains are not equal. At this point we believe that four of the strains cause 95% of the cancers.  These four strains are the main strains of hpv that gardisil, the hpv vaccine prevents.

Question 3

what is the likelihood that a singular 4 year old lesion on the mid/upper thigh be diagnosed (by sight) as seborhheic keratosis but actually be a genital wart caused by hpv?

Accepted Answer

: HPV strains are specific to the tissue type they thrive in. Genital wart strains infest the genital skin, although they can cause warts in the oral cavity/mouth of immune deficient individuals (rare). Genital wart strains do not cause skin defects on the regular skin of the thigh. There are skin wart strains. SK's are common and seldom require special testing for diagnosis.

Question 4

if i touch my boyfriend penis several times with my hand and after it i touch my thigh(or inner thigh)can i get genital hpv wart on my thigh? tnx for your help

Accepted Answer

: If your boyfriend does not have genital HPV warts then there is no reason to think that you will get them, especially in a non-genital area. If he does have genital warts, non-genital transmission is still extremely unlikely unless there is some trauma to the skin and a defect in the skin integrity.

Question 5

if i touch my boyfriend penis several times with my hand and after it i touch my thigh(or inner thigh) and if i shave my leg last night and my leg have some shallow and tiny wounds,can i get genital hpv wart on my thigh?

Accepted Answer

: In this scenario possibly not. But cant tell you for sure for many other factors like time, type of virus etc are involved

Question 6

is it more likely/ common for women to show symptoms of hpv than men? (genital warts)

Accepted Answer

Genital warts: Probably not. The opposite probably is true, because of the obvious differences in genital anatomy. Warts in the vagina often aren't noticed, and it's not easy to see much of women's genital areas.

Question 7

how common are oral warts from genital hpv? can you get them when you share a cup with  someone who has oral warts or am i just paranoid?

Accepted Answer

HPV and Oral Cancer: While the number of people with oral hpv infection has increased, the transmission is still considered to be sexual.  Sharing a cup with someone with known oral hpv (which is not easily detected unless they have hpv + oral cancer) does not seem to be a risk factor.  Smoking, having multiple past sexual partners (or a partner who does) and known genital hpv infection increases the risk for oral hpv.

Question 8

can hpv(warts) transmitted with common genital razors? is high risk or very low risk? ( know we shouldn't do this but  asking cause of strange situation) t change accort to passing time ?

Accepted Answer

Two bad things: Shaving your genitals is unhygienic and you ought to refrain from that. Sharing razors carries a risk for more than HPV and Hep B may be a bigger risk and HIV is not excluded.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 9

i've read it's not necessary to disclose to every partner that you at one time had hpv (a genital wart) since it's so common, especially if treated and symptom free for many years (2007)? true?

Accepted Answer

No: HPV is a virus, meaning that your body will never get rid of it, but it will learn how to suppress the symptoms. Even though you were treated and symptom-free, you are still able to pass it on to others. This is a personal decision, but honesty is the best policy.

Question 10

if a girl has hpv and she is showing common cancer symtoms related to hpv. can a dude who has sex with her contract warts on his genitals?

Accepted Answer

Maybe,maybe not: The hpv strains that trigger cervical cancer are different from the ones that produce genital warts, but the girl may also be infected with the wart strains and not show outward lesions. The cervical cancer strains can cause throat, penile or anal cancer.
