I have had a few potential new partners and all have rejected me, because of the HPV. I'm still in treatment, so I wasn't totally surprised but I did think more people would know about HPV.

Sarah - That sucks. I'm just now starting to date for the first time post-HPV and not looking forward to the disclosure. But I figure I can always assure the guy that there are plenty of other safe, fun things we can do--what guy is going to say no to that! If they rejected you, they weren't worth you.

Thnks, hon! I totally understand how you feel. Be honest, do what you feel is right. It will work out eventually and you will reap the rewards.

I have heard that the chances of oral warts occurring are very slim, and only apply to certain strains of wart- causing HPV. Anyone know which strains? ALSO: I don't mean to sat it never happens! Just that it is supposedly rare. Please don't bash me for saying this, I'm only passing along what I have read/been told.

Call an STD hotline. Oral is not safe. Really - don't fool yourself.

from what i understand is if you have genital warts you can give someone oral warts, but you cant give them oral warts... if they have genital warts you can get oral warts when you give them head...

wait totally "misspoke" there. If you have genital warts you cant give them genital warts by giving them a blow job if you dont have oral warts. You can give them oral warts if they go down on you....

I'm under the impression that you can get oral warts from oral sex but it is just rare. Still though, I wouldn't take the chance, ain't worth it in the least. It's bad enough to have genital warts, oral warts would make things so much more annoying.

You guys are too focused on warts. Reminds me of when I used to always wear a condom during sex and worry about AIDS. Then I got HPV. So, there is a variety of other nasty things you can get from oral. If you do it, use protection.

Dude, you can HSV I (herpes) from oral sex. Yes, if you get cold sores (i.e. oral herpes) you can give HSV to your partner. And Yes, most everybody gets cold sores!

A lot of what is being said here really depends on one's perspective...if you don't have casual sex, and wait a long time in a relationship before getting sexual, it puts a different spin on things. If you are having random oral sex, yes be careful...wrap it all up.

You can get worse things than HPV through oral. I am never going to give a guy oral again without a condom... Ask an STD expert and they will tell you the horrible things that can happen.
