Symptoms of HPV

Information on HPV and Genital Warts What is a genital HPV infection? Genital human papillomavirus (also called HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of males and females. These HPV types can also infect the mouth and throat. Most people who become infected with HPV do not even know they have it. HPV is not the same as herpes or HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). These are all viruses that can be passed on during sex, but they cause different symptoms and health problems. What are the signs, symptoms and potential health problems of HPV? Most people with HPV do not develop symptoms or health problems from it. In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears HPV naturally within two years. But sometimes, certain types of HPV can cause Genital Warts in males and females.

HPV and Men

HIV, the virus that causes AIDS

HIV infection is, by far, the most deadly STD, and considerably more scientific evidence exists regarding condom effectiveness for prevention of HIV infection than for other STDs. The body of research on the effectiveness of latex condoms in preventing sexual transmission of HIV is both comprehensive and conclusive. The ability of latex condoms to prevent transmission of HIV has been scientifically established in “real-life” studies of sexually active couples as well as in laboratory studies. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of HIV. Theoretical basis for protection. Latex condoms cover the penis and provide an effective barrier to exposure to secretions such as urethral and vaginal secretions, blocking the pathway of sexual transmission of HIV infection. Epidemiologic studies that are conducted in real-life settings, where one partner is infected with HIV and the other partner is not,... [Read more...]


Genital Warts

How Genital Warts are Detected

There are a few methods by which a physician can determine whether or not you have Genital Warts and amongst them, visual inspection is the most common. Often times a doctor will only need to examine the area visually to be able to tell if you have Genital Warts. Genital Warts can be small in appearance, and sometimes invisible to the naked eye. In this case your physician will dab some acetic acid on the suspected area. If there are warts where the acetic acid was daubed, the genital warts will show up as white patches against the skin. Just for your information, and since I know that I found this to be particularly interesting, acetic acid is vinegar. So although I wouldn’t suggest dousing yourself with vinegar to find out if you do have warts, it can’t hurt to dab a small bit using an ear bud (Q-tip). You might however, want to stay away from using vinegar to show up any warts if they are located within your body. Other methods used to find out whether or not you have genital warts... [Read more...]

Genital Herpes & Pregnancy

Does Genital Herpes cause problems during pregnancy? Yes. If the mother is having her first outbreak while she is pregnant, she is more likely to pass the virus to her baby. If the outbreak is not the first one, the baby’s risk of getting the virus is very low. Babies born with herpes may be premature or may die, or they may have brain damage, severe rashes, or eye problems. Doctors may do a C-section to deliver a baby if the mother has herpes lesions near the birth canal to help prevent passing the virus. Also, acyclovir can help babies born with herpes if they are treated right away. It is not yet known if all Genital Herpes drugs are safe for pregnant women to take. Some doctors may recommend acyclovir be taken either as a pill or through an IV (a needle into a vein) during pregnancy. Let your doctor know if you have genital herpes, even if you are not having an outbreak. He or she will help you manage it safely during pregnancy. Most safe to use during the sypmtoms of Herpes is... [Read more...]
