Which treatments would you recommend?
Once I was exposed to the virus I did the following things:
-quit smoking
-quit drinking
-started excercising
-increased fruit and vegetables
-1 multivitamin day
-increased water intake
-occasional echinachea
I haven't noticed any symptoms of the virus even though the exposure should have led to warts.
Hope this helps.

Boost your immune system is the best way to get over HPV, or any virus for that matter. Since you are dealing with a virus, the only true way to get over it is by your body building an immunity to it, like you would for a common cold or the chickenpox. Once you build an immunity to a virus, your symptoms will clear, you will no longer be contagious, and you won't get that same strain of that virus again because you carry that immunity with you. The product I have seen do this the best is a Betamannan Supplement, that you can find at alotek.com.

There are various treatments available. Some of the more popular I have found
Podophyllin
Applied directly to the affected area to kill wart. I believe this is an acid formula with potential toxicity.
Podofilox
Topical at home version of Podyphillin. Strength is less (supposedly so is toxicity) and can be prescribed by doctor.
Cryotherapy
Freeze the wart dead.
Laser Therapy
Have your doc zap them away.
Aldara
Topical at home cream - claims to modify immune response in applied area. Have heard good/bad things about this option.
I'm sure there are many other less popular treatments available, these are the ones I've heard of.

Start taking care of yourself! Start taking vitamins daily. For sure start taking Vitamin E daily. Centrum is also a good vitamin to take with that.
If you haven't yet I would talk to your doctor about different treatments available that would best work for you.

Aldara but use it once every twelve hours and don't just apply it to the actual wart apply it fully to all exposed skin on penis for 10 hours continue this for 2 weeks, and i have never had a reaccurance since.

My experience has been fairly painful with burning the warts off, when I eat mainly fruits and veggies as opposed to bleached flours and other foods that turn to sugars in my tummy (treats, rice, alchohol...etc)I find that the healing is quicker and also less warts occur. Definatly keeping your immune system up by exercize and eating right is important. Which is important for you anyway, so take it in stride. Also because of my hesitancy to use any chemicals on my body I've been using tea tree oil for the past week and am amazed. There are no icky wounds and also the warts gets smaller day by day....almost gone in fact....please stay that way.

Vitimin A. I have heard of successful treatments in Europe of doctors filling a diaphram with doses of vitimin A and inserting it for two days then removing it. Although I personally have not trieds this method, I am supplementing with oral vitimin A, since it is known to combat viruses (correct plural?). I have HPV types 16 and 18 which cause dysplasia but not warts and once I have healed from my cone biopsy I am going to try this method on myself. I am not recommending it without consulting your doctor first. I will also post again on my success or failure after my next pap.
