I found out I have hpv. Help.
I am a 25yo male and was diagnosed with a genital wart last week. Does this definitely mean I have hpv? And if so, will I have it forever?
Between me getting diagnosed with the genital wart, and now I have found several small bumps that look like warts but they're all on the base of a hair. I don't know what to make of it. I assume these also are genital warts.
I talked to the girl I was having sex with an she says she got the giardiasis shot 2 years ago and seems to think she automatically doesn't have it. She get yeast infections, is that related?

Ok, so here's the answers to your questions.
Most doctors believe that HPV remains in your body forever, in low levels. The sooner you remove all warts, the sooner your recovery will begin. Should you be wart free for 3-6 months (some say 12-24 months), you will no longer be infectious. At that time. You may be infectious again years or decades from now. No one can predict this. The test for women is very accurate but if her body suppressed the virus, she may not get a positive result. The test does not detect the virus at very low levels. You cannot tell who gave it to who. The vaccine only protects you against 4 of the most popular strains. There are over 40 strains of this virus. If your wart is one of the strains not protected by the vaccine, then she has what you have. Don't listen to anything Drifter writes. He tells everyone to never have sex again for the rest of their lives or for two years. Go to the Doctor's Forum and read what they have to say about it. With 80% of the sexually active population in the world having been exposed to it and with condoms only providing a 50% protection, it is inevitable. Sorry.

I live in california and initally thought it was ingrown hair from shaving or just irritation from sand getting in my shorts.
Will this girls pap and hpv test come back positive if she is the one I got it from? She's the only girl I've been with in a couple years. And how accurate is the pap smear and hpv test for women?
