Hi everyone just an update - turns out what I have is Genital Warts, not herpes. I had a wonderful case of pretty bad folliculitis all over my genital region at the same time as the warts showing up in another area. Nice huh? Lots of fun. I got to go on Zovirax out of my fear of herpes, then got dumped onto 500mg amoxicillin for another 10 days for the folliculitis, along with some antibacterial wipes for the surface of the skin, and now have a chemical called condolox to kill the warts on my balls. This stuff if used too much will cause nervous system toxicity. What the hell is that? I start jumping up and down and shaking??? The dermatologist asked me what kind of women I had been having sex with to have obtained such a wonderful Viral and Bacterial set of infections. Little does he know...
In any case.. I am glad its not herpes. The painful sores I had were small infections occurring all over the place from the folliculitis. It is obtained from bacterial infection due to shaving (which I don't do down there) or I assume just grinding crotches .... ohhhhh say........ with a Tijuana prostitute for example.
I am treating the warts, as I am told they do go away with treatment, and eventually permanently as my body defeats the virus, though it may take some time. As long as I have the virus in me however, I am not allowed to have sex with any women, as genital warts in women puts them at a high risk for cervical cancer....
All I can say guys, is don't have DZona's attitude. Weigh the risks and use your fucking heads when you do this stuff. Some of you admitted to already having herpes. Do us all a favor and please don't go down there just before or during an outbreak. I know it takes a "Who gives a shit" attitude to do this stuff in the first place, but try to remember that some of the dipshits going down there have innocent women and little kids who rely on them. The rest of us want to walk out of there without the rest of our lives being scarred. I know doing this comes with risk, but there's no reason to increase the risk with your own actions.
My goal now (as sick and twisted as this sounds) is to see if there is any sort of compound which can be applied to the skin after sexual contact which can kill every STD on earth. I don't know why there aren't post-sex antiviral and antibacterial "wipes" for people to use. Even HIV outside of a hosts body cannot live long, and it shouldn't be difficult to pour something on it and kill it, if it is on the skin. That includes herpes. Prior to infection.
Anyone with any medical knowledge that can comment on this? The "wipes" the derm gave me are antibacterial, so they won't do much for skin infections like herpes which is viral, but there must be something out there...
Even for HIV there is a drug you can take if it's been less than 24 hours since exposure, which could kill the virus before its had a chance to multiply in your body. There must be a topical ointment of some sort for that and the other bugs out there?

Joker - Whatever, get a life and stay out of ours...
Nevervana - Great news! Get well and get those bugs out of you...

Wart is still STD. Once the virus is in you, you are with it the rest of your life. There is no cure for viral infection except vaccination if it's available. You may develop immune system to get them asymptomatic. Yeah, the warts will go away just like the sores of herpes.
You will always have the chance of giving it to other women. I just don't see why Nevervana should be happy to have HPV over herpes. Some day when Nevervana finds himself a wife, how would he explain that she got cervical cancer? Or she is gonna have to do the Pap smear every 6 months.
I am sorry he got HPV. I hope you develop immunity against it soon. Check the WestFargo's post in the redsnake. I am sure you will find it very interesting. Well, Nevervana, good luck.
And Progman,
Nice try. Someday when you have a life, my service won't be needed as much. Well, just have a good time.

Joker - My life is great (and TJ is part of it) and, BTW, it only got good once I dumped my wife. Maybe you ought to think about that one for a while!
By Nevervana on Saturday, February 03, 2001 - 01:38 pm: Edit |
Joker - just like Molluscum, your immune system eventually builds up against warts and they never return, especially if you treat it early and destroy the tiny warts immediately upon first appearance, which in the past week I did successfully.
Unlike herpes, Warts usually only recurrs once or twice and then it is gone forever, and yes it is possible to eradicate it from your system even though it is viral. Herpes on the other hand not only comes back whenever it wants, for the rest of your life, but also is not eradicatable via the immune system. You may not have read that it can indeed be eliminated from the system, and has been in many people.
Just because something is viral doesn't mean its not eradicatable and stays in you forever. Even if it does stay in you forever, with warts you are not contagious unless there are warts actually on the skin. Since recurrance is ZERO after 1 or 2 times, there is ZERO risk of giving it to someone. This is also unlike Herpes which has as I said above not only recurrs several times a year every year forever, but the contagiousness period spans from a week prior to any outbreak, through the end of an outbreak. Much riskier, especially since you can give it to someone without even having sores on your skin.
So yeah Joker, I do consider myself very fortunate that it's not herpes. They're painless, not contagious at all for the rest of my life after a month or two ... never appear again .... and depending on my immune system can even be completely eradicated. Big difference.

Nevervana,
Where did you get your information? You need to do serious search on the net to find out about HPV. Viral infection means that it will stay with you ferever. Virus inserts its genetic material into your cells. And the virus keep changing its genetic infomation through what we call frame shifting mutation, so your immune system can not keep up with the changes it goes through. Some HPV strain does not go through frame shifting as often, and your immune system can keep its infection at bay.
HPV's incubation period can be any where from several weeks to years. And it is possible to spread to your wife even after years.
For the sake of your future wife and the others, please do the search. I just can not emphasize enough that there is no cure for HPV. And there in only vaccination treatment against the viral infection. Some vaccine is an attenuated live virus of the deadly kind. Some vaccine is simply dead virus or the protein derived from the genetic information from the virus. The reason that it is difficult to make vaccine for herpes and the likes is because they go through frequent mutation. There are several types of mutaions. substitution, deletion, inversion, and frame shift mutation.
Trust me. I am at the forefront of the genetic medicine, and I must know about this. Please call 1-800-227-8922 to obtain the right information. Ignorance and the optimism are good, but it is not in this case. And I must ask you again to get the right information, so you can make the right choice.

Nevervana...
Where did you get the info that the warts don't keep recurring and stop being contageous. I'm not sure that is true, in fact, I think that is wrong, and dangerous to post if your facts are off.
Freezing the virus off with Liquid Nitrogen does not always get down to where the virus is living, or the cells it has altered. So it may take several treatments to treat. I suspect that if the warts do not come back, there is no virus to spread.
The cream may be ALDARA, which actually turns up your immune system, to keep the virus in check, but probably does not destroy the virus so it cannot be spread. In other words, you are still contageous.
By Nevervana on Monday, February 05, 2001 - 01:11 am: Edit |
Well first off, my Dermatologist said it was no big deal, treat them and that's that. If they come back then treat them again, then life goes on. No reason to fret, worry, warn my wife and children, fear that any girl I have sex with im going to give cancer to ... etc etc etc, he said they're a slight inconvenience and many MANY people get warts, not something I need to be freaking out about like you're suggesting Joker. More people have genital warts than have herpes, and the person count on herpes is 1 in 4... with black females its 2 in 4. Another doctor I saw simply said "Oh geez, thats not herpes!!!! Its just a typical flat wart, no big deal"
Okay so yes I was wrong that I can be 100% cured by treatment, but if it never recurrs then its not an issue. That's all I was saying. It's not like Herpes which is contagious even if sores are not present. I got my information from the ALDARA web site actually....
"Because HPV is a virus, symptoms such as genital warts can be treated but not cured. The average patient may need a few treatments to clear genital warts. "
This states that it is possible to clear them and in most cases its only a few treatments which accomplishes that goal. That's where I got that information from.
"Avoid sex until you have been treated."
This clearly states that the treatment will make you no longer contagious.
The point is, I still stand by the opinion that these things are a hell of a lot less of a concern, inconvenience, and worry than Herpes would have been, for a million reasons.
I will do more research, but someone better tell my doctors that they're wrong on how big of a deal these things are. And no, they weren't just trying to make me feel better.
By Nevervana on Monday, February 05, 2001 - 01:44 am: Edit |
Allow me to also clarify, they are a big deal for women. They are not a big deal for men. In fact they *can* be a big deal for women, but not always are. My only goal is to make sure I don't have sex while I have any bumps, and i treat them immediately so they go away. After a few treatments, as it states, I should be good to go and not have to worry about it any further.
By the way, I found this comment on the Mayo Health Clinic site regarding Genital Warts:
"How genital warts are treated depends on their size and location, and also on the person who has them. Doctors can help you get rid of an outbreak of warts with medications or surgical treatments. Sometimes medical treatment can take care of the virus that causes genital warts as well. If the underlying virus is not completely eliminated, however, genital warts may reappear even after treatment."
Not only does this state that sometimes the virus can be completely eliminated, but it also implies that if the warts reappear, the virus isn't gone. That implies that if they are gone, so *may* the virus be... *MAY*.
And another comment from the Mayo site, regarding when you are contagious:
"If warts are visible on you or your partner's genital area, avoid sexual contact until the warts are treated."
Ok then, my facts weren't that off after all, were they?
Another comment regarding how risky HPV is with cancer points out that MOST strains of HPV do not even pose the threat of causing cancer:
"There are about 100 strains of HPV, most of which don't cause cancer."
There is a test I believe which can also show me which strain I have, so that I can know just how concerned to be. Here is a comment from Mayo Health regarding this point:
"The HPV test may determine whether the virus you carry is high- or low-risk for cancer."
Another comment regarding women and HPV:
"Most women's immune systems fight off HPV, so they never have genital warts, abnormal Pap smears or cancer."
One final note I want to point out, on the ASHASTD.org web site they have an HPV newsletter and there is a question answer PDF document. In it someone asked about whether it goes away forever. Here is the doctors reply:
"HPV is most common in both men and women in the late teens and early 20's. At this age, up to 60% of women have been shown to test positive for the virus when tested every three months for a three-year period of time. However, most of these women did not remain positive on very sensitive HPV testing for long. 81% becaome negative within 18 months of their first positive HPV test, and the majority of these were within 6-12 months. This and similar data indicate that one's immune response is most often able to handle the virus. It is impossible to be absolutely sure that you are not contagious at any given time, however, in my experience, we can resonably presume that an individual with no detectable lesion and a persistently normal Pap is not likely to be contagious."
If you ask me, that's a hell of a lot better situation to deal with than Herpes.

Nevervana,
Personally, I think we can be immuned after several subsequent outbreaks. We are at the clinical testing phase of certain types of HPV vaccine right now to prevent the infection of HPV. Sorry, if you have HPV, you are out of luck. The vaccine should be available in the next few years.
I don't know where you are getting your information, but HPV has an enormous infecting power. You can auto-innoculate, spread to other parts of body by toughing it. Regular disinfection won't kill this thing. You need a sterilizing autoclave, using thylene oxide, to kill this thing. There has been a case where the virus was spread from the disinfected speculum.
Just be cautious, tell your partner to get Pap smear every 6 months. If the vaccine is available, then get vaccinated. It won't hurt to be safe than sorry. After all, you don't want to lose your wife nor your unborn kid.
Just a thought, the sensitive tests became available for the last few years. They used biopsy method which is often unreliable. They will often give false negative. There is a DNA hybridization testing, but none more senstive than the test called PCR. There is only a handful of clinical lab. that does it. One thing though the insurance won't cover this costly testing. Only a research lab. like ours would use a procedure like that. And trust me, my infomation is coming from using those procedures. There are so many things that we don't know about HPV.
Perhaps your dermatologist should have been more careful in giving you the information.
I hope you called the number I gave you. They can stir you into the right direction.
Yes, you are right, the majority of people seems to have this thing. But just be careful. It's better than losing someone you love. And please call the number. What you have written makes me believe more than ever that we should spend more effort in educating the general public.
Yeah, HPV can be under control, if you are careful. It's not a death sentence.
And thanks for your info.
By Nevervana on Monday, February 05, 2001 - 06:30 pm: Edit |
Actually I called the brand new HPV hotline run by one of the biggest HPV organizations in the world today, and here is what they told me:
The fact that I have had bumps appear reduces the potential that I have a cancerous strain of HPV to almost NiLL ... nothing. The cancerous strains of HPV do not manifest themselves in *MEN* with visible signs such as warts. This was new news to me, but I completely trust these people as they live and breathe the research of the virus. He stated that the warts that actually do end up appearing in *MEN* are always just of a typical skin wart nature and nothing to be worried about. When I mentioned your comments to him, he said "The chances that a visible HPV wart on a male are of a cancerous nature are so low that it's downright SILLY".
You asked me once again where I get my information....i made it very clear above where I got each and every comment, and even put quotes around them. Maybe your information is outdated?
Another thing they told me, and which I read on several different health sites today was that literally over 80% of people already have HPV. 80% man. Why are you freaking out? You're right that its highly contagious... but chances are you have it too, as do 80% of the guys who post here. According to the HPV hotline, its the guys who fuck multiple high risk women and *DONT* have any warts showing that need to be worried...
Cancerous strains of warts also tend to be difficult to treat and eliminate. They told me that when you try to treat such warts, if they do appear at all, they do not go away, become bigger, and are unresponsive to most treatments. My particular warts were this big each ---> . and i had 3 of them. 2 days of Podifilox (Condylox 0.5%) and they completely dissapeared. Thats hardly unresponsive. Most warts take 3 cycles of 3 days on 4 days off the treatment before they dissapear.
After having researched tons of medical sites, journals, and having spoken to the authorities on this condition, I conclude that my goal at this time is to ensure that I do not infect someone else. How I am going to do this is up to me, whether it be via abstinence or simply waiting awhile to see if I have any further warts appear. The hotline flat out agreed with me on the article i mentioned above which stated that 81% of women who test positive for HPV test negative after 6-8 months because their immune system has depleted it. They also told me that less than 1% of HPV cases end up being cancerous problems. Compare that to the number of people who smoke cigarrettes and the 40% + incidence of cancer and HPV looks like nothing more than a slight nuisance.
You might call the hotline at 877-HPV-5868, then dial the (919) number they give you and run by the things ive claimed in this post to these people and see what they say. You may be surprised to find that I'm right.
By the way - what good will a vaccine do me in the future? Sure it might keep my wife from getting it from me, but is there some benefit I might get from it? You suggested me getting the vaccine when it comes out. But in another place you stated im out of luck since I already have the virus.
Anyways... I don't know how they plan to do a vaccine for a virus that has nearly 100 strains ... and my understanding is that it's going to be a vaccine for the cervical cancer strains, and will be for women, not men.
Allow me to repeat one last comment. Do you realize that 80% of people already have HPV by the time they hit their mid 20's ?????
80% !!!!!!
You and everyone here probably has it already if you've gone to Tijuana and had sex with a prostitute. The fact that you've seen no warts actually makes you a thousand times more at risk of giving cancerous HPV to a woman than I am.
Hows that for a twist?
By Nevervana on Monday, February 05, 2001 - 06:41 pm: Edit |
Joker - by the way, you're confusing me. First you say it can't be killed, now you say using something can actually kill it .....
Could you rephrase that whole section about auto-innoculation and sterilizing autoclave?
Lastly, what is all this talk about "losing" my wife and my kid? Man are you blowing this out of proportion or what? Women who get paps on a regular basis will notice irregularities if they are there, and it can be treated and dealt with. You don't die from this disease as long as you're getting paps, and why would my child die?
Geez... do you know the percentages of women who have had paps and died of cervical cancer after early detection? Like zero?
Stop trying to scare the shit out of me ... i don't need it right now. Your information is missing some major important components... like "the rest of the story".
By Nevervana on Monday, February 05, 2001 - 07:48 pm: Edit |
Hate to belabor this point, but was just searching through another information site at:
http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/stdhpv.htm
It clearly says in paragraph 2:
"Like many sexually transmitted organisms, HPV usually causes a silent infection, that is one that does not have visible symptoms."
Then it goes on to state in paragraph 4:
"In men, genital warts are less common."
And as a finale' to this thought process...
"Low-risk types of HPV cause genital warts, the most recognizable sign of genital HPV infection."
All of this backs up the comment by the guy on the phone that
1) a wart actually showing up...
2) in a male...
3) is a sign of the lowest risk basic skin wart that is most likely nothing more than the harmless thing.
It is the Low-Risk types that cause actual warts.
It is the high risk types that cause "silent infection" without visible signs.

Joker - You're a fucking asshole. I don't know what your agenda is here but TJHombre needs to delete your sorry ass off this board!

Nevervana
You are right. All I said is to be careful. It's safe than to be sorry later on for not taking the precaution. You sounded pretty naive at first (it seemed now that you have done the through research), so I just had to mention. I have already said this, but the regular Pap smear would definitely help afterall this is a controllable condition. Actually, even with a regular Pap smear, the cancer can be missed. Sorry nothing in this world is perfect. Yes, if it was caught early on, HPV can be under control. I have seen many women died of cervical cancer even though they have done Pap smear every 6 months. There is a better procedure called ThinPrep by Cytyc. This one puts only one layer of cells to the slide, so the pathologist won't see the overlap of cells to misdiagnose. But even this isn't perfect. Hopefully, the FDA approves PCR, so the insurance would pay for the procedure soon.
The HPV can be a problem when the child goes through the birth canal also if there is a HPV breakout. But don't worry, just alert the doctor, so he can perform C-section. Sorry if I sounded a bit morbid. Hopefully, the vaccine would be available shortly. I have seen one woman who had cervical cancer while she was pregnant. She was my case, after we have determined that it was definitely caused by HPV. Because we couldn't perform a regular conventional cancer treatment on her, we did something special. We suggested an abortion at first. But it wasn't her wish. So I decided to give her gamma globulin from patients who had similar strain of HPV this included her husband (luckily they were both type O). We cleaned out the gamma globulin, so more. She had a healthy baby. I decline to comment on what happened to her.
Auto-innoculation is infecting yourself to another part of body. HPV is a strong virus that can survive a pretty harsh condition. By touching your wart can transmit this virus to some other parts of body.
Disinfecting is done using a disinfectant to kill the microbes. Usually done soaking the instruments in the disinfectant. The sterilization is done with very powerful explosive chemical to kill the microbes in the pressurized chamber. Autoclave is just a pressurized chamber to kill the microbes. I am not OB/GYN guy, so when my wife goes to see a gyn, I always ask them if they have a sterilizer.
There has been a case of infection HPV through a disinfected instrument. The public doesn't know this, so maybe you should know.
One word of caution, as many infections you seemed to have, I am a little skeptical about you had only one strain of HPV. As are many cases, the patients are usually infected with many different strains of HPV. Like you have mentioned majority of the population has this virus, it's about time we pay more attention to this virus and pour more funds into making the vaccine available faster.
Nevervana
You said earlier you were going to tell us who the chica was that gave you the warts. I'd be interested to know. Thanks.

I found out that warts can take anywhere from 3 weeks to several years to show up, so my assumption wouldn't be prudent I don't think. If it was herpes like I thought, I would probably get her info and spread it all over town, because that *tends* to show up in 7-10 days.
Joker - couple of things. Could you tell me how (if at all) the vaccine would help me? I know it would help a partner I have but you implied I should take it too....
Additionally, having done a *LOT* more research in the past day, there is a lot of evidence that suggests that HPV reaches a point of non-contagiousness after a series of months to years. I found an article and a study which showed that 81% of women who tested positive for HPV all tested negative after 6 months, and nearly all of them tested negative after 8 months. This is very important to note. It doesn't seem that this stuff sticks around forever in a contagious form. I have already dedicated myself to not having sex for a year from the time of the clearing of my warts. It took a whopping 2 days for the warts to clear up with the condylox. I will also spend this year focusing heavily on healthy living, lots of sleep, and enhancing my immune system.
Lastly, Joker, I always have sex with a condom. I don't think ive done it without a condom in many many years. Further research has shown me that in order for me to infect a woman anywhere near her cervix, I have to be condom-less and have to be carrying the infection on my penis which touches deep up inside her on her cervix. If I am wearing a condom, it will be even more impossible for me to give anyone cancer, even if I am carrying the strain which causes it. Additionally, I had the warts appear on my "balls".
Why do you refer to "the number of infections" i have. I simply had folliculitis, which isn't even viral, its bacterial and of a completely different nature. Why does folliculitis make you assume I have more than one strain of HPV?
By Joker on Wednesday, February 07, 2001 - 08:13 am: Edit |
Nevervana, I meant to say once you are infected, the vaccine can't do much. Well, HPV infection is from skin to skin contact. As long as your wife is covered with skin, she can get it. I don't know what kinda research you are talking about, but I have never heard that the condoms can completely keep everything safe. Only safe sex is abstinence or stay with a sex partner that you know that they are STD free.
Well, I am speaking from the experience, most of the HPV patients are infected with several variants of the HPV. I tend to think that maybe these different variants help each other to infect. But that's a subject of research.
Like I said, the HPV can auto-innoculate. That means anywhere on the skin or mucous membrane you touch, you can infect it. Unless you are motionless when you are having sex, there will be a possiblity of "auto-innoculating" and thus introducing the HPV into the cervix. The HPV is also thought to cause a cancer in the respiratory pathway also. So I guess if you have HPV, your wife must give you covered BJ.
Like I said before, the vaccine will be avaiable soon, and your partner can take it. Then nothing to worry about, really. Afterall this is a controllable condition. Most of the people HPV is asymptomatic.
Any case, good luck Nevervana. And be careful.

It's about time for some updated, accurate information on this condition, versus the crap that's been spewed around here by a couple guys.
Thank you for contacting the National HPV and Cervical Cancer Prevention
Resource Center, a program of the American Social Health Association (ASHA).
We are glad to be of service to you. We apologize for the delay in
responding to your e-mail and will try to provide a thorough response to
your questions.
It is estimated that 75-80% of sexually active people in the United States
have or have had some type(s) of HPV. Some types of HPV cause genital warts
while other types, not related to genital warts, can cause cellular changes
in the cells of a woman's cervix. The majority of people with HPV do not
have visible symptoms.
With regard to your specific questions:
1) It isn't completely clear from your email that you have been diagnosed
with genital warts. The types of HPV associated with external genital warts
are referred to as "low-risk", meaning there is no known cancer risk. The
"high-risk" types of HPV which are linked with cancer (primarily cervical
cancer) basically do not create symptoms in males; a man would typically
never have medical confirmation that he has this type of HPV. At this time,
it is true that there are no widely available HPV tests for men. There are
diagnostic tools used in research groups which are not commercially
available; many of these require a great deal of expertise to administer and
are presently not approved for wide-spread screening. The National HPV
Resource Center has no information as to where these tests may be obtained.
Their usage is primarily confined to research.
2) There is no figure that quantifies the percentage of infectivity that may
exist with HPV after a set period of time (as it is very difficult to study
asymptomatic infection). Many experts feel that for most people HPV is not a
persistent infection, and it would not be the norm to remain permanently
infectious or to have long-term recurrences of HPV-related growths. The
immune system is thought to assert itself at some point and actually reduce
the virus to very low levels. Many researchers believe that it is unlikely
the virus will be transmitted once this natural suppression has occurred.
The time frame for this immune response to occur is usually expressed in
months (as opposed to years) after the last occurrence of growths. There is
no way to predict, however, exactly when this natural suppression takes
place and the virus may be contagious in the meantime. Studies (such as the
one you mentioned) offer evidence of this immune response. It isn't clear if
this means HPV is actually cleared from the infected cells, or merely
reduced to very low levels that are difficult to detect. Again, the bottom
line is that HPV is not thought to be a persistent infection in most cases.
The HPV Resource Center does not have detailed information about specific
studies but back issues of our quarterly newsletter, HPV News, do contain
references to them as you discovered on the Web site.
3) As for bolstering the immune system, there is nothing in particular that
studies have shown to be effective regarding the suppression of HPV per se.
Sometimes very simple things may be helpful: not smoking or drinking to
excess, managing stress and getting enough rest, eating a healthy diet and
exercising, and perhaps taking a multi-vitamin. While these things are not
therapies for HPV itself, their value may lie in their ability to keep the
immune system working at peak efficiency.
4) With "high-risk" HPV, it is correct that most women do not develop
cervical cancer. Researchers and physicians believe that the majority of
cases of abnormal cell growth can be treated before the infection has time
to progress to cervical cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute,
about half of women with newly diagnosed cervical cancer have never had a
Pap smear. And another 10% have not had a Pap smear in the past five years
(where the virus has had time to progress to cervical cancer). Because cell
division is an ongoing process, cervical cancer does not develop overnight.
Keep in mind that most cases of mild cervical dysplasia resolve on their
own. The most important issue is for a woman to continue to have follow-up
visits with her health care provider.
It is important to understand that someone with HPV is not alone. HPV is
very prevalent in the United States. As stated previously, it is estimated
that 75-80% of sexually active people in the U.S. have or have had some
type(s) of HPV. For most people HPV does not cause great physical harm.
Being diagnosed with an STD can trigger many emotions. However, these
issues are often due to the many misconceptions that surround STDs. Many
people find that once they have gained factual, accurate, and reliable
information many of those fears subside in time (AMEN TO THAT!!!!). We have an abundant amount
of resources on HPV. Please feel free to call ASHA's National HPV Hotline
(see below) to gain more information or to receive written pamphlets.
We hope you find this information helpful. If you have further questions or
concerns about HPV, please call ASHA's National HPV Hotline at (919)
361-4848. This hotline operates 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday
through Friday.

What if anything can be transmitted when a chica cums on you? This seems to only happen to me when the chica is on top.
I'm a medical student. You want to know what will kill any STD if it is on your skin? Some sort of compound? Okay, here it is--Clorox Bleach! LOL
Get ya some of those clorox wipes and wipe your inguinal area and dick after sex with a condom and pray the virus' haven't already gotten into you through some tiny skin lesion. But, yes, bleach will kill anything lol
Course, you could just bring a bottle and pour a bit of 5% solution into the puta first....nah
Just kidding guys! Don't flame me AAAAAAGHHHH lol
Not sure how this traslates to other countrys or how old the data is, I got it off the prostitutes education network
"The U.S. Department of Health consistently reports that only 3-5% of the sexually transmitted disease in this country is related to prostitution (compared with 30-35% among teenagers). There is no statistical indication in the U.S. that prostitutes are vectors of HIV. Although a small percentage of prostitutes may be HIV positive, William Darrow, CDC AIDS epidemiology official, cites no proven cases of HIV transmission from prostitutes to clients."
And here is another interesting trivia fact.
"Average arrest, court and incarceration costs amount to nearly $ 2,000.00 per arrest. Cities spend an average of 7.5 million dollars on prostitution control every year, ranging from 1 million dollars (Memphis) to 23 million dollars (New York)."
