I was wondering if it is possible to have genitle warts without HPV???

I have had two relationships this past year, an both of them have had tests for HPV and came back negative. However I have always been faithful but I have noticed some bumps on my penis and I never really thought much of it but there is more poping up. I dont know if it is cause I shave but the bumps look very similar to warts?? Someone please help me cause I dont know what to do or who to contact as far as who I may have contracted the diease from or if it is even warts...

No genital warts IS caused by the HPV. You can contract HPV from the first guy that you had a sexual experience with and it is just showing up. Many STD's can "hide" in the body and not be found for years later.

First, genital warts are caused by certain strains of HPV. Warts can accumulate around the base of the penis, but the bumps could be shaving bumps, or perhaps hair folicules. Are they actually popping up, or were they already there and you just noticed them? Are they changing size? I believe one test method is to apply vinegar to the "warts" and if the area turns white, it is a sign that the bump *may* actually be a wart. Other than that, the only sure way would be to visit a doctor. I believe there are free STD clinics as well.

It might be pearly papules. Pearly penile papules, a condition which causes pin-headsized outgrowths arranged neatly in rows on the base of the head of the penis may be mistaken for genital warts. They are not warts nor genital warts, they are harmless and do not require treatment. Hope this helps. Go here (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co... for pictures.

Yes it is possible to have genital warts without HPV.

All warts are part of the large family of HPV types. They are over 100 HPV types and 30+ are found in the genital area.

An HPV test can be negative if the gal only has low risk HPV types. Low risk HPV types can be found on the cervix...but usually regress faster than high risk HPV types. Our HPV test only screens for high risk HPV types...the test does not screen for low risk HPV types...the test is only screening cervical cells not any vulva cells are included in this screening. Low risk HPV types 6 or 11 cause most all visible genital warts.

An HPV test may not be run if the Pap smear does not find abnormal cell changes. A single Pap may miss abnormal cells.

Any person you had sex with could have transmitted her HPV type to you. Many people carry both low risk or high risk HPV types without any cell changes or visible genital warts. They person that transmitted the virus may have never had a genital wart. BTW did you see these gals pathology report?

You will need to have your bumps looked at by a health care professional....no one can guess what your bumps are.

If they are of the genital HPV types then it is best to stop shaving as this can cause the virus to spread to more easily.

Good luck to you.
