Did your doctor tell you that you can
get HPV from a toilet seat or is this
an overreactive guess?
I think there are probably 100
dermatoligists and scientists that
would disagree for every one that
would say something like that.. I
still don't believe the doc said
something like that.
Maybe I've misread..

My doctor actually treated that couple
that has been proven. In regards to
the toilet seat he said anywhere your
genitals may contact you can run a risk
of developing this desease. He said
nothing has been ruled out. There is
still so much more that needs to be
learned about this desease. The toilet
seat cannot be ruled out yet.

not being able to rule out a
possibility doesn't mean it happens.
because nobody can 'prove' it, they
cover their collectives asses and say
its posible.

Hand warts are hpv, but they aren't
the strain that you get on your
genitals.Genital warts are found on
the genitals, hence the name.There are
over a hundred different types of hpv
and many aren't the genital kind.I
would be skeptical if you only hear it
from 1 source.Personally my experience
of the doctor I saw was that she was
trying to scare me about having hpv. I
did my own reserch.

What I've heard is that hand warts can
transfer to genitals though THIS IS
UNLIKELY. As for getting warts from
toilet seats it is a possibility if you
can get hand warts from pinball
machines or wearing someone else's
shoes. Let's not get hysterical about
this though. We should take it to mean
that some of us perhaps did not get it
through sex.

As for the couple, well if someone with
warts on their hands fondles your
genitalia, I can imagine how the virus
might be transferred. But if that is
the case with this couple, then the HPV
she has is not the regular 'genital'
variety. But perhaps it is an unsual
case and it doesn't mean we all got our
genital warts from someone's hands!!!

Please do not misunderstand what I said
in regards to the couple. I know not
every wart on the hand is genital HPV.
In the case of the couple his was
genital type HPV on his hand and it was
the same type she had on her cervix
that was causing her dysplasia. My
doctor type tested both of them. It
appears now maybe I should of never
said anything. Sorry!!!

Feel free to say anything. As you can
see it did trigger off discussion as a
lot of us would like to believe that
our warts are just the hand wart strain
and not an STD. Unfortunately the
possibility of that is small : (

Doctors miss inform people about hpv,
my doctor told me that it was just a
hasal an could get warts at times. I
asked if a condom would protect me an
others, she said yes when in reality
thaat wasnt true. I am trying to figure
out how i can make people aware of hpv,
if u have some ideas for me that would
be great. Later this week i'm going to
my old high school an talking about it.
People need to know the truth, i wish i
did...

I wouldn't be surprised if future
research shows that hand warts can
spread to genital warts or the
opposite. I am currently fighting both
with little success. What I'd like to
know is why so many people have them
yet so little has been done to find a
remedy.

at this point does it matter how we
all got this Virus. What ultimately
matters is we take responsibity not
topass it on to those that dont have
it.
I was told that passing it is only
through direct genital to genital
contact....or my 5 year old would have
it. Being informed is better than
being misinformed, and misinforming
others is even worse. Gather
information all over the web and in
books and through your doctor or seek
another opinion.
