signs of hpv in mouth

transmission of mouth hpv?

My husband of 4 months whom I dated for 4 years before we were married, confided that he had some warts in his mouth for the last couple of years. He claims that they appeared a short while after we started dating, but doesn’t think that I gave him a virus.

I know that he has been faithful. I don’t have any warts or anything.

My questions are:

Is it possible that I made him have this even though I have no signs of hpv in my mouth?

How is it that he has had this for YEARS and I don’t have it?

We have a normal sex life, and I am just wondering if, since I have been kissing him on a regular basis, and have no signs of the warts, can I continue?

PS: I know people will say rude things about me and my husband. I couln It was really hard for him to tell me because he was embarrassed. I love him with all my heart, and I just want him to be healthy and happy. He has been faithful to me, and I certainly won’t leave him over this.

Warts in the mouth are really uncommon. He should see a dr. b/c it’s probably something else.

Why do Christians insist that their beliefs promote moral behavior when facts say opposite?

From an earlier post:

Atheists have a lower divorce rate than Christians and teen pregnancies and STDs are highest in the U.S. (statistically the most Christianized country in the world) and lowest in many of the least religious countries in the world (Sweden, Norway, for example):

Divorce rates among conservative Christians were significantly higher than for other faith groups, and for Atheists and Agnostics:

The rate of teen pregnancies in the U.S. is twice as high as any other industrialized nation:

A comparison of Christian “red states” vs. more secular “blue states” in U.S. shows that the top 15 states for teen pregnancies were all red states, while for the 16 states with the lowest rates all but 3 were blue states (including the 6 with the lowest rates):

You have a lot of links to a lot of statistics here but not one that proves the point of your question. Of all these statistics which one says Christians teach imorality. What I am seeing is a bunch of links where people are claiming to be Christian but in reality they are not.

When conducting these surveys people are asked thier religion, they answer they are christian. Saying you are Christian and actually BEING a Christian are not the same.

If there were to be a study on the color of skin and 1000 people said thier skin was blue would that make it true?

Too many people think simply a belief that God exists makes them Christian. It does not. All those imoral people in those studies are not true Christians. To be true Christian you have to do what Jesus teaches in the Bible.

sexually transmitted diseases herpes

sexually transmitted diseases herpes

Being diagnosed with genital herpes can be a harrowing experience. Myself, I went through so many emotions: anger, regret, fear and later even depression and anxiety. All I wanted to do was get rid of genital herpes. It wasn’t until I learned some of the facts about the disease that I came to accept my condition and learned to control it, rather than let it control me. When I learned I could easily get rid of genital herpes symptoms, it was like I had been set free. Here’s some things sufferers of this condition should know:

1. Genital Herpes is a strain of the herpes simplex virus, the very same that causes cold sores, otherwise known as oral herpes. While this means that you can never fully get rid of genital herpes (like most viruses you carry it in your system for life), it does mean that just like cold sores, you can control and prevent outbreaks with proper diet, lifestyle and medication.

2. It is a very common condition. When you are affected with a sexually transmitted disease, due to the social stigma attached a person can often feel alone, dirty and tainted. This is simply not true. Around 1 in 5 Americans have the HSV Virus, and having it does not make you abnormal or dirty.

3. Like most viruses, it is aggravated by lifestyle factors. Just like a flu or cold sores, you are more likely to have an outbreak if you are highly stressed, are eating badly or not getting enough exercise. If you want to get rid of genital herpes symptoms, you need to adjust your life to make sure you are stress free and healthy.

So with all this in mind, how did I get rid of genital herpes? The first step is controlling your outbreaks. At the time of writing, I have not had an outbreak for over two years. I achieved this by living and eating healthy, and with an all natural daily treatment that works amazingly. The advances in homeopathic remedies for herpes symptoms is amazing in recent years, and I advise any sufferers to investigate it, and you too can get rid of genital herpes symptoms.

std symptoms and pictures in women

Trichomoniasis is the most common curable sexually transmitted disease (STD) among men and women. It is often called “trich”. This disease is caused by protozoan known as trichomonas vaginalis and is spread through sexual intercourse or even just sexual contact. Vaginal, anal or oral intercourse can transmit the disease from one person to another. Women can get the disease from both men and women while men get it only from their female sex partners. The parasite that can be transmitted through sexual contact may also live in towels, clothing and bedding.

Trichomoniasis has been reported in up to 7.4 million cases each year in the US. Although both men and women can contract the STD, women are at a higher risk. Most individuals become infected of this STD between 16 to 35 years old. If this disease is left untreated, the indications or symptoms may become awfully unpleasant and may even do damage to your health. Women with untreated trichomoniasis develop a greater risk to acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Generally, only women experience the symptoms of trichomoniasis. Even if men are infected with the disease, they most often do not show any symptoms of the STD. A large percentage, around 60%, of the women who have trich will go through some indications of the disease. These normally come into sight within 5 to 28 days of infection. In some cases, it takes up to 6 months before symptoms develop.

Women with trich are likely to experience vaginal discharge with color of either gray or yellow-green. This vaginal secretion will be frothy or bubbly and will be far from being aromatic. The labia may become swollen and the vagina will appear to be redder than the usual. Other symptoms may include pain and burning when you’re urinating and sexual intercourse. A less general indicator of this STD is lower abdominal pain; it occurs only in about 10% of infected women. These symptoms do not disappear until they are treated by prescription drugs.

Men do not commonly exhibit indications of trichomoniasis. The parasite that causes the infection stays in the urethra (urinary tract) of men that makes the symptoms rare and diagnosis much harder. Around 40% of infected men will go through very mild symptoms. The symptoms of this STD on men are a tingling sensation in their penis and pain during urination and sexual intercourse. There may also be an evidence of white discharge from the penis. Symptoms of the disease in men are likely to disappear within a few weeks, but this does not mean that they cannot infect their sex partners anymore. Men will continue to infect women if their infection is left untreated.

If the condition is left uncured, trich can last for a number of years. An infected person will find the infections extremely uncomfortable and may also increase his or her risk for various infections. Men are at greater risks to develop penis infection, urethritis and prostate problems while women increase their chance to acquire HIV infection. In order to be completely sure that you don’t have trichomoniasis, you should be sure to get tested every now and then.

chlamydia effects on fetus

The presence of the genital herpes in a woman will not hamper her to get pregnant nor have kids. As a matter of fact, 25% of pregnant women are suffering from herpes virus. However, many women who are in the middle of their pregnancy and with herpes cannot help but worry because of the negative effects that could happen to their child. This is because when a mother is infected with the herpes virus there is a possibility that the disease could be transmitted to the child. A mother should be really concerned about that probability considering the horrible consequences that it could give to the child. However, according to experts, there is a very low level of risk involved even if the mother has been infected with herpes for so many years already.

Because there is no concrete statistics of herpes in new-born babies, it is hard to estimate the figures of babies with herpes. But according to researchers, there are at least more than 3,000 cases each year in the United States. The total of the babies who acquired herpes from their mother is only 0.1%. This fact has also been established and concluded by one study – that the spread of the herpes during pregnancy is very unlikely. However, when a mother contracted the herpes in the later part of her pregnancy, there is a big chance that her baby will get the disease.

Sadly though, in the event that an infant gets the neonatal herpes, the effects of this can be devastating. Though half of these infected infants can be able to getaway with the disease when properly medicated with antibiotic, a large part of the infant population could endure certain types of severe brain damage, cerebral retardation and even worse, death. These are the awful outcomes that are more dreadful when you have herpes in pregnancy. If you have herpes during pregnancy, it is best that you talk to your obstetrician as far as the management of the infection and the reduction of the risk that your baby will be exposed to are concerned.

Neonatal herpes can be easily transmitted to a child when he or she is in full contact with the HSV type 1 and 2 during the delivery process in the birth canal. Transmission of herpes in pregnancy only becomes more risky when a mother has a dynamic outbreak during the pregnancy and it is because the possibility of viral cracking is also high during this period in pregnancy.

One good thing about babies whose mothers have long been exposed to herpes virus is that they have an innate defence against herpes virus. It is because during pregnancy, herpes natural antibodies travel from the placenta to the fetus which shields the babies from further obtaining disease throughout birth even if there is an evident presence of the herpes in pregnancy. In the months of pregnancy, herpes antibodies are already being supplied by the body in order to save the fetus from harm.

If you are pregnant and you suspect that you have herpes, it is advisable that you talk to your doctor so he or she can make proper examination and give you medicines that will control the spread of the virus.
