I know strands of HPV cause warts (benign tumors). My question is, why? Everything a virus does is normally to benefit the virus in some way: help it to reproduce, make it live longer, etc. If something doesn’t aid its survival, why bother? How does the creation of a wart or tumor aid a virus?
LIke if you have a wart on your hand and then touch your genitals can you get genital warts? Some websites say you cant others say you can? Does anyone know for sure?
My boyfriend has shingles. As i know that this disease is part of the herpes family… Can the disease lead to or cause genital herpes or cold sores in the person with shingles? Is there any way that i could be infected with herpes by being intimate with a person who has/ has had shingles?
I was at a park one time and I peed in a bottle that was sitting in the creek. I know it sounds very stupid and it was, but at the time I thought it was funny. Yes, I was drunk. The bottle touched the tip of my penis. A few days after I began to develop bumps on my penis. I was jw if being in a soda bottle can cause genital warts or I just got a fungus. thanks.
I’m not sure if I am pregnant or not, but I do know that I have the HPV virus. If I am pregnant, could the hormones and weaker immune system cause the virus to become active?
