Some HPV types cause benign skin warts, or papillomas, for which the virus family is named. HPVs associated with the development of such "common warts" are transmitted...

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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
