My boyfriend had a few small bumps on the area near his pubic bone, not on his penis. He had them there for a few years so i suggested that he have them checked out. He went to the doctor and they said that he has genital warts. He been treating them with a liquid acid. My question is, When are they most contagious? I have not gotten any genital warts and we've been together for 8 yrs now. I get a pap every year and none have been abnormal. Do I have hpv now?

Genital Warts are very contagious. It’s one of the most common STD’s. Most people are infected with them and will not have an outbreak at all, so they never even know they have genital warts. Others have them and break out every couple of months or even years it just depends on the person. If you want, you can see your OB and ask for an STD screening. Even though your paps have come back normal, it doesn’t mean that you do not have HPV. It could be that it is a very low grade of the virus. But then again you could be luck and not have the virus at all. There is really no way to protect yourself from the virus being that it is spread through skin to skin contact.
chances of you having hpv, high (there are many many types of hpv). chance you will get warts, low. Actually warts seem to be most contagious when first contracted. You probably will never get them from your man unless he’s actually feeling symptoms (which my guess is he does not). The liquid acid may have the sores open so they would be very contagious at that point but after that I honestly wouldn’t worry about it, unless they cause him discompfort.
Yeah they contagious! You probably have them all inside you and you just can not see them.My question is where in the h-ll did he get them???? They do not just appear from no where.Look them up online.
THEY ARE SERIOUS!, REFRAIN FROM UNPRTECTED SEX!. ALSO GET YOURSELF CHECKED FOR WARTS.
WISH YOU WELL, NASTY DISEASE, CHRISP.
Yes genital warts are very contagious.
Yes you do have them if you had contact genital warts via sexual activity or touching his area.
Remember this virus can be hidden for years until symptoms show.
it’s very contagious. virus is very tiny, during sex.. microscopic cut may occur and genital warts virus enter. Most contagious when you have opened cut on your skin and touch on the bump or anything that touches the bump touch you. maybe that on pubic bone not genital warts, jus common warts (those that infect the skin of hands, feet, lips etc.)
bless u.
Because only about 30 types amongst > 100 types of HPV that infect genital. Since the wart not on penis, and 8yrs, you are safe as long don’t risk touching the bump and ask him don’t let other body part, penis especially (and those open cut of body) to touch the pubic wart, then both of you safe. but get rid of it. If it’s not many and not stubborn, keep applying the liquid acid, even u see the bump gone, extend application… virus will die off
HPV is very contagious. I think all answers confirm this fact.
Low risk HPV types 6 and 11 most often cause visible genital warts.
Since you have been together sexually for 8 years now you most portably share his HPV type.
Many people can acquire HPV and never show signs of a lesion or wart. Your body has built the necessary antibodies to control or keep the virus under control.
Our Pap test looks for abnormal cell changes of the cervix…our HPV confirms we have HPV. The FDA approved HPV only screens for high risk HPV type. Your pap has not shown abnormal cell changes of the cervix women over 30 may have the HPV test done on all Pap but some doctors do not run the HPV test when no abnormal cell are shown. You can ask your doctor if he run the HPV test when no abnormal cell changes have been seen on the smear taken of your cervix.
Low risk HPV can cause abnormal cell changes but low risk HPV seems to regress faster than high risk HPV types. Low risk HPV types are not linked to cancer.
It seems your immune system is controlling what HPV types you and your boyfriend share.
Sometime down the road if your immune system weakens you may show vulva warts or the lesion of the cervix…but you many never show lesions or warts.
One of the reasons HPV is so frustrating is we can transmits the virus …never knowing we have it.
Once we have an HPV type/types we are not going to ping pong it back and forth…
