I'm really almost done with it as far
as I'm concerned. I am more worried
about healing scar tissue at this
point.

Craig, what does the tissue look
like? Very noticeable? Do most
people heal quickly?

looks slightly darker. It's healed
relatively quick but of course I would
like all of my skin to look the same.

I didn't have any for about a year
after the initial freezings, then I got
one small one, then none since then, so
I guess I got one wart in about the
last 1 1/2 years. I really don't think
about it much, once you stop getting
them it becomes a non-issue, though I
will tell someone I plan on having sex
with, which doesn't seem to happen
often he he.

Sarah,
What did your roommate use to get rid of
hers?

Can anyone tell me if they have tried
any of the products online and how did
they work?

My roommate had them removed in one or
two office visits by freezing I
believe. Aldara wasn't out then.

I'll let you know, the last small wart
I had I used Aldara. After one week I
could not longer see it. Key is to
get them when they are small with
Aldara. When they get a little bit
bigger, freeze them to death.

stay away from online crap. It is all
a gimick. If anyone on this forum
says anything positive about how they
cleared them right up, it's probably
the advertisers.

The online products prey on people who
are scared and desperate to try
anything.

Could someone tell me if I will
forever have to use a condom ,even if
I am married?

Firstly, condoms don't do much in
terms of preventing HPV transmission.
Secondly, most people clear the virus
from their systems in a couple of
years. So, I don't see any reason
you'll need a condom forever to
prevent HPV.

(cont'd) It is up to the individual if
they want to try to do everything
possible to protect a partner from
getting HPV infections. Sometimes it
doesn't matter, in the big picture.
|

No, no one on this site is going to
need to use condoms after they are
married :) Sometimes it feels that
way, right? But Sara is correct
condoms won't stop the transmission
and you will most likely clear this
out of your system in a few
years...after 10 years you will no
longer be contagious. For now, keep
your pants on and take care of
yourself.

Keep my pants on for ten years???? Ha
I don't think so

I'm from Australia and my doctor said
quite the opposite of keeping our pants
on for 10 years. He said that this
virus is SO common - most people have
it - and there is no way you should
give up your sex life because of it. He
just said always use condoms unless a
partner knows you have it and is
willing to have unprotected sex anyway.

Thank you cf for the comment,it is
very encouraging

...I just meant for us to keep our
pants on while we have big scabby
nasty warts that might be in the
middle of treatment. Once we're clear
just be careful and be honest, you
know?

americans...when it comes to sex stuff

this be true? I'm so confused!!!!

I'm the Aussie. Yeah it is true. I said
to him, "how can I have sex with
someone - even WITH a condom - and know
that there is a good chance I'm giving
them the virus?" He just repeated that
there is such a high probablity that
they will come into contact with the
virus at some time in their lives, so
avoiding sex with me was just kind of
putting off the inevitable.

Well, I know I am from the great
USA,but I have never in my 50 years
heard of anyone have warts on their
genitals.But the Aussie comment is
comforting to know. I felt like I
almost had Aids.

I have been with only one man for the
last 4 years and the same man for 30
before that.The Doctor told my fiancee
that we could have gotten the warts
some warts on his back. The doctor
said,he could have scratched a wart on
his back and then when to the bathroom
and transfered the wart to his penis
and then to me. Does that sound
strange?? It did to me,but I guess
anything is possible.

From what I have read and learned the
warts that form on your skin and the
warts that attack the gentials are two
differnet strains. The strains that
cause gentiatl warts like the moist
area and the type of skin around the
genital. That is why it is so rear we
get them in other place on the body.
