I'm a guy with HPV... overreacting?

I've been searching over, and over, from one site to another... Am I overreacting to this? I know it's serious, but so far, I've found that the greater danger lies in the female's exposure to HPV. I understand that if a person has a wart, it's HPV, but HPV doesn't necessarily meant you'll get warts. I have it... what happens after the Imiquimod? What about Cryotheraphy? What about the Acids?

Hi Blinsided, I think others here will know more than I do as I am fairly new to HPV. I have the kind that causes the cancer cells, so I don't know if I will ever have warts..grrrr

I am guessing that after your treatment you will be fine, but you are a carrier of this virus. From this point out, I would just be honest about it with any partners that you have, and ask your doctor questions about what to look for. From what I have read, the warts can vary in appearance?

Anyway, welcome to our group. I am sure you will find some answers here:)
Take care..

Thanks! I'm slowly learning how to deal with this. From my research, the warts look different from one case to another... I'm just hoping that the Imiquimod treatment wasn't too late... I'm assuming that the photos I've seen are the the neglected cases.

The Dr. don't know why some people have more outbreaks than others or why some people only have one and others have a few. I have only had one thank god, but the thing is I just sit around waiting for another to show up it sucks.. I mean its just skin.. if u really think about it .. thats it just skin

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
