HPV
Sorry for posting here but the HPV forum is low in activity.
I'm a 23 yo male and I decided to do a screening test for hpv by urethral swab.
It came back positive for HPV type 89.
My docs told :
1)It's low risk-so no cancer danger for future partners.
2)That this specific strain of HPV has never been found in GW and that usually strains 6 and 11 produce warts. Also since I have never had warts, I'll probably never produce any since 3 months have passed since my exposure (she was my first GF) and that this specific strain is one of the many strains of HPV that causes neither GW or cervical dysplasia. My doc told me that they just exist and get eradicated from the immune system of the host after a while.
3) That HPV infections clear out of my system since I am a male after 1 year and that low-risk HPV does not go in a latent state in males like it does in females.
Are these info true?
THANKS.

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.

Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
