Is my boyfriend going to catch HPV warts from lying next to me naked?

Q: My boyfriend and I are not having sex because we both know that I have HPV – the type that causes genital warts. After fooling around for a while last night, we both fell asleep in a spooning position (he was behind me, facing my back). Is he going to catch HPV?

A: yes, there is a possibility but it happens only in very rare situations because HPV and genital warts are STD – sexually transmitted disease !! anyway you must get rid of genital warts as soon as it is possible!!!and if you really want to get rid of genital warts forever then you should know that you can remove genital warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or cream but genital warts can reappear again and again because genital warts appears when your immune system is weak!HPV is the virus that causes genital warts. People can be infected with HPV and never show any symptoms. Others will develop genital warts. These warts can stay the same size, grow, or go away on their own. It largely depends on the infected person’s immune system. A healthy immune system means your body may be able to suppress the virus and not show symptoms.Even after the warts go away, the person will always remain infected with HPV. That person can spread the virus even without showing symptoms.so you must build up your immune system because your body can get rid of genital warts by itself if your immune system will be strong! so eat more healthy food, more vitamins and more sport activities! (No smoking, no beer/ale, no booze, no drugs, no junk food, no fast food garbage, no sugary sweet soda’s. Get on a good, balanced, healthy diet including plenty of boiled or steamed vegetables.Drink P L E N T Y O F W A T E R , fruit juices & fat free milk. Snack on lots of RAW fruit & veggies. Get up one hour early every morning & take a BRISK 30 minute walk – then – do the same thing again in the evening after dinner. Make sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast daily. You get your energy for the day from your breakfast meal. Get 8 hours sleep each night. Flip your mattress over so it will level out to give you a good night’s rest. Slack off too much coffee & tea) also you must use herbal treatment because you can not always live 100% healthy…!!!in that case Wartrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of genital warts comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that they wont reappear again! It works by stimulating your immune system to fight the HPV virus that causes the warts. of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly).It worked and still works for me!I do not know if any pharmacies carry Wartrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product herehttp://www.buywartrol.infoThe advantage of Wartrol over other natural treatments for genital warts is that, since it is taken orally, it also acts on invisible and internal genital warts that CAN NOT BE treated by other creams and natural remedies.good luck!Working in women’s health – Gynecologist + personal experience

can another person catch hpv from using same towels and wahcloths?

Q: i have company over for weekend. if someone has high risk hpv can another person catch it by using their towels and washcloths, even if they are clean?

A: HPV can be transmitted when people share the same unwashed towel, although I think such transmission is difficult. I seriously doubt that the HPV virus can survive on any fabric through washing and drying. Using bleach and using high heat for the washing and drying should take care of any worries.

I have HPV. If my boyfriend fingers me, will he catch HPV from the fingering alone?

Q: He knows I have HPV, and we’ve agreed to remain celibate. I’ve read conflicting things about whether or not men can catch HPV just from fingering women. Some sources say it is possible if he touches himself after touching me, and other sources say that the virus can’t live long in air – it has to be incubated in moisture in order to survive. Can someone who is qualified to answer this question please end my confusion?

A: It CAN happen, but he should be fine. Strands of HPV only infect, or show symptoms, on certain parts of the body. So, he runs a risk of getting infected if he gets your viral material on his fingers and then quickly touches his own skin.
