In relation to the genital wart thread...

[Goodsoulette]

if somehow, you found a genital wart on your bedroom partner. How would you handle it?

This is gonna have to be like in a new relationship, where you are unable to go "urrgh" under normal circumstances.

[jno]

well, honestly, you'd have to tell your partner before you made it to the bedroom... at least I think you should but I notice that the guy in the other thread didn't.

[Goodsoulette]

well lets say they hadn't noticed. Lets not assume!!

If you get normal warts that are burnt off with normal cream from Boots like Wartner, could the wart re-appear on your knob? Therefore, just one of those things. Or are all knob warts the result from a sexual liasion with a strumpet?

[Goodsoulette]

no joe, the only exception would be in very young children could get transfer HPV from say their hands to their gentials.

[Joe_the_Lion]

So knob warts are different then?

Ok can knob warts tranfer to your hands, the other way round as you put it?

[Goodsoulette]

no... occasionally they can go to your mouth though.

By continuing to have sex with the same partner doesnt increase your risk of reinfection either because you will probably become immune to that strain (if you are girl, not so much with blokes). Their are loads of different types of HPV viruses though so even if you became immune to one strain you might not another.

You do realise that once you've got warts you have them for life? You can only catch them during a flare-up (when there is a visible wart), and it can be years in between flare-ups, but it's not a very nice thing to have...

[netibiza]

Well, I wouldn't handle it, I'd use tongs.

[nannon]

i thought they were transferable - ie from hands to 'down there'??
But in answer to you question I would be livid - that they hadnt told me and could therefore pass them onto me!!
