Obviously I know I should go see a doctor since I have some disturbing symptoms, but I'm wondering how long you can go between being infected with HPV and showing symptoms. I can honestly say that I have NEVER had unprotected sex, but about a month ago, I noticed a small bump, and now I've noticed a few more. I also haven't had sex in quite a while, atleast not that kind.. so I'm really quite confused as to when this might have occured (especially since I keep in contact with the majority of my sexual partners).
HPV is transmitted by skin to skin contact so condoms DO NOT prevent it. the warts usually appear a few weeks or even a couple months after exposure. Herpes can also be transmitted despite the presence of a condom. Skin to skin contact involves the contact between her outer labia and your scrotum, upper thighs, and anything not covered by the condom.
HPV never heard of that one
It can take anywhere from a few days to a few years. I have had HPV for over 5 years, and I got genital warts from it about 7 months ago. It took four and 1/2 years to notice any visible symptoms of the virus!
Also, HPV can be spread even if the guy wears a condom. Genital warts caused by HPV can appear all over the genital area, not just the part covered by the condom. If you were to have slept with a guy who had genital warts then you could have possibly got it from that guy.
Please see the webpages for more details on Human papilloma virus (Genital warts). the other webpages related to Herpes simplex virus (Genital herpes).
One fifth of all cancers worldwide are caused by a chronic infection, for example human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes liver cancer.
Genital herpes cannot be cured. once infected, the virus stays in the body for the rest of the individual's life. Research suggests that the virus can be transmitted even when there are no symptoms present, so that a sexual partner without obvious genital herpes sores may still transmit the illness. in fact, asymptomatic spread may actually contribute more to the spread of genital herpes than do active sores.
I was diagnosed with HPV when I was five months pregnant. Itr started with what I thought was a scab. the following month I had a terrible case. I think it depends on the person and their immune system
