Warts on Hands - Worried?

[JL700]

Hi,

I'm in a fairly new relationship, and don't have very much experience sexually (which is why this question may be somewhat silly... but still valid I believe?) Since some time in middle school I've had small warts on my fingers (so small in fact that most people may not even notice them). With my new boyfriend, however, I fear that  *1* I could transmit them to him genitally via a handjob, etc. And *2*, if he gets them on his own hands (which I suppose is a more realistic possibility, since that's holding hands, etc. is how hand warts are spread), should I be greatly concerned about getting them genitally via fingering, etc? I am in the process of removing them with OTC Dr. Scholl's products, but I'm still concerned as we've already had hand/genital contact. Aside from this, we both tested completely clean. I've read everything from "completely likely - don't even touch him or have him touch you if he develops a hand wart" to "they are completely different strains - zero to worry about"... which should I believe?

That's very helpful, thank you!

No offense taken at all! From your knowledge though, is it possible/likely for warts to spread that way since we had contact before I started to remove them?

So bottom line if you do have warts on your hands get them cleared before you go and give you boyfriend a hand job.

Good luck.

I see, only reason I mentioned "hand foot and mouth" is because every now and then I get these tiny little bumps.. you would really have to stare and take out a lens to see them... they look like tiny blisters/warts.   I had a doctor look at them and told me it was "hand foot and mouth"  

He perscribed me to wash my hands after everything.  haha.

Okay if you know they are warts, then you must know better than me (I don't know what they look like).   I think they sell over the counter ointments for hand warts.

My point about your sexual experience was not intended to often you or anything.  =)    Just was trying to say, "If you aren't having sex, then don't worry about STDs"    I was implying that about you.  


We get alot of people here who decide to touch their genitals and then freak out about STDs.     Do worries too much about STDs, just be careful.  Wear condoms. and don't go out having unprotected sex with intravenous drug users or  the unknowledgable.

Haha ok thanks for the clarification. I'm sure what I have in my hands are warts, even though they're small I've always had a couple of them since I was a teenager

Hand foot mouth? I think that's something entirely different from common hand warts. I do have some sexual experience, but have always had somewhat of a phobia of stds. Hence my worry about whether hand warts can be transferred to genitals.

[JessyJames2010]

opps... haha

I mean to say "whatever is on your hand does not sound like warts"

[JessyJames2010]

opps..

I dont' know what happen.. accidentally pressed enter I suppose.

I was going to say:

You cannot get genital warts in the way you describe, and certainly cannot give it to your boyfriend if you give him a hand job.    

What ever is on your hand does not sound like genital warts.

Hello

That you have NOT "very much experience sexually " says to us that you shoudn't be worring about STDs.

It sounds like you have the "hand foot and mouth" Virus.  That's okay don't panic its picked up from germs around dirty things.  Not to much to worry the virus usually clears its self.

You
