Oh boy...HPV?


I just got married and my husband and I have been together for over a year now, and we have known about each other's sexual history and I have been to the gyno before we got married to get on birth control and I am fine, but I think my husband has HPV. His "member" has always had small bumps on it, which he said have been there since he was little, but those small bumps are getting a little bigger and others are forming. I looked it up and it seems like he may have HPV. What should I do? I don't want to accuse him of having it. But I don't want to be at risk anymore than I already am. We've talked about it and he said he's not worried, but I am and he knows it. I don't want to have sex with him knowing those spots and bumps shouldn't be there. I don't know what to do. Advice? Anyone with similar experiances?

The HPV virus usually does not produce any symptoms. Even if the virus causes changes in skin cells, they are often so minor they are not noticeable (and are not of concern). When the HPV virus does cause noticeable changes, the most common result is genital warts 鈥?typically appearing around the anus or on the penis, scrotum (testicles), groin or thighs. These warts can vary in appearance from small, flaky patches to pronounced, raised growths. Genital warts are not serious and can be treated, although they may re-appear if the body's immune system has not fully suppressed the HPV virus. Rarely, "high-risk" types of HPV can cause certain types of cancer, such as cancer of the penis or anus (with the latter usually occurring in gay, bisexual or HIV-positive men).
You can research more at CDC.gov.
Also the preventative shot for HPV in women in meant to prevent 4 types of HPV, it cannot prevent, if you have been exposed to it. With recent medical progressions, HPV is not deadly unless it goes untreated. Its always a good idea to have tests done!

Go to the doctor.. it's better to be safe than sorry.

Yes, I have had HPV. They resemble warts and can be removed. You MUST use condoms because it is linked to cervical cancer, if you get them. Assuming it is HPV, have him get it treated ASAP before they spread. They use laser therapy, and it's very effective.

Isn't there a shot/vaccine for women to get that keeps them from getting HPV down there? I could have sworn my wife got the shot last time she got inoculated for her nursing course. Get him fixed and look into the vaccine. Tell him not to be embarrassed. There are so many types of HPV. Hell, even a plantar wart is HPV! Just a different strain of it.

since he knows you are already concerned about this tell him you would like to go together and get tested and see what the doctor says

He needs to see a doctor to determine what he has.
