Human papillomavirus is a diverse group of DNA-based viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. More than 100 different human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been characterized. 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 am new here & I'm losing my mind. I recently had unprotected sex, which I am not proud of . I know it is too soon to show symptoms of genital warts, but I have something that looks strange inside my vagina & have convinced myself that that's exactly what I have. I would deal with it find if it was just me I was worried about . But , now I worry that I passed it to someone else & it's killing me. I know that the only way to know for sure is to get tested , and I will , but in the meantime my stomach is in knots & I feel like a horrible person
Hope you will get some replies. Believe it or not I partly know how you feel. 2 years ago I was in the same position as you. Still baffled about what I got. Im still not sure it was a wart as I was tested by a company and it came negative. Then I was told no test for males and at the clinic they said it was. Seen nothing negative since. This forum seems to be quite inactive. Have you looked at the ASHA forum? 3 experts answer questions for a small fee. Actually you don't know what it is until you are seen,so although its very difficult id urge you to try not to worry.
I know that knotted stomach feeling even though I am male but one thing I AM sure of you are NOT a horrible person. Please don't think like that.
Warts are another harmless one. Honestly, is there anyone out there who has never had them? It's unrealistic to think that people will never catch these utterly common viruses.
But you will have to take care because herpes is another utterly common virus and you do NOT want that little friend.
I think you need to bite the bullet and say 'i like having sex' (oh, the crime, oh the shame, how unnatural and unusual) and put some bloody condoms in your purse. This isn't the 18th century. Nobody's going to burn you at the stake if you say 'well actually I have these'.
In fact, why does darling man not have any? Is he also trying to look virginal? :p
:D you're fixating but just don't have sex with anyone for the three days it's going to take you to have the chemicals leave and your body start to calm down, and then you can see your way clear to a sensible answer for the future.
Very important to give your body these breaks when you get an attack because if you don't, you'll get a layer upon layer factor, where you make the next anxiety attack as a result of the last one. Just shutting everything down and doing nothing is the only way to get out of it. No more fuel on teh fire.
