How to know if a guy has HPV or genital warts.

Ok, so for guys systoms are really rare. They can have the virus and don't present any systoms. So how when I met a guy can I know if he have it. And what is he don't know he have it there is not a test for guys so How in the World you know if that person has the virus????

Avoiding sex contact is the best way
to prevent hpv infection

I've read that if you've had more than
4 partners then its about 80% certain
that you've been infected with HPV at
some point. Only 1 to 5% of people
infected (men or women) who get
infected will have a symptom so I
would say not to worry about it, more
than likely neither one of you will
know. I've also read that if you
abstain from sex for about 8 months
into a relationship its common that
both of you will clear any current
infection.

poster above...i think hpv is runs
wild because of the lenth of time
people have between partners. if
people would slow down and allow more
time to pass between partners the
numbers would decrease, you need to
give your immune system a chance to
grab hold...THERE IS A IMMUNE RESPONSE
however this is in your epidermas
which is in the farthest region from
your immune system making it difficult
to recognize the infection

I agree completely ;)

That is true if people were more
cautious and slowed down more
infections would be ciured and stop
being spread.

I hate to say this but people will
never quit having sex. Why don't we
quit driving as well. Driving is one of
the most dangerous things you can ever
do in this world. You never hear
people say hey you should quit driving.
Most people drive slow and wear their
seatbelts. Its the same way with sex.
WHen it comes down to it. Life is all
about choices.

we arent saying ppl should stop having
sex, if that happened, our entire
civilization would die off. what they
are saying is ppl should slow down,
get to actually know someone, try
exhibiting some SELF CONTROL, instead
of just humping away like wild
creatures, maybe then, std's wouldnt
spread so quickly and rapidly. we
werent created to propogate with any
member of the opposite sex, we were
meant to have (in my opinion) ONE mate
for life.

12/16/2004 9:58:10 PM - continued from above
its b/c ppl jump from partner to
partner that disease keeps being
spread. if you have only one mate in
life, and they have only one mate
(you), then there is no way for either
of you to get an std is there? i know
everyone makes mistakes, not everyone
can stay a virgin, but just b/c you
have made mistakes in your past,
doesnt mean you have to continue
making mistakes into the future.

you can feel along their inguinal
ligaments to see if their lymph glands
are swollen. that is usually an
indicator of an active infection in the
lower part of the body.

however, they can still transmit std's
to you when they are not actively
dealing with an infection
