From wiki - "Most HPV infections in young females are temporary and have little long-term significance. Seventy percent of infections are gone in 1 year and ninety percent in 2 years.[5]"
And most men have no symptoms.
If it is HPV, it is going to go away on its own.
Your immune system sees to it, but there is no treatment beyond boosting the immune system and waiting.
And the type of HPV that causes warts does NOT cause cancer, even of the cervix.
It is the undetected form that progresses to cancer...
If you do have it, you need to be honest with any future partners until you go at least a year without symptoms.
Having sex with the same woman is not a moral issue, and she may be rather pleased that you still want to fuck her knowing what she gave you...and she should know.
And I agree that you probably do NOT have warts, if they are red dots.
Even herpes sounds unlikely, since 'dots' is not the typical presentation.
Herpes usually involves sores that scab over, although many men have tiny, nearly invisible spots that itch.
And lots of people with herpes do not have symptoms at all.
Women tend to have outbreaks more often than men, which are obvious and painful.
This can include pain in the legs or lower back, as the virus lives on the nervous system.
Men can spread the disease because they simply live with a minor itching all the time.
They may not be aware that it is even herpes, and they often do not experience outbreaks like women.
I would know - I have it.
To be perfectly honest, for me herpes is hardly a concern.
Once every few years the wife has a bad breakout, which sucks.
But I have never had a single one. Just a tiny little spot that itches and becomes maybe 10% more visible.
It is not on the head, its on the shaft skin and is nearly impossible to see even up close.
But I realized that if I was having sex while itching she was more likely to have a minor breakout, so the virus was replicating.
Occasionally it would happen and I wouldn't itch until a day or two later.
Did we stop having sex? Fuck no.
I take acyclovir on a daily basis now.
It completely eradicates the itching and never loses effectiveness, going on 4 years of taking it.
According to the powers that be, the herpes virus does not build up a resistance to long-term medication use.
I can literally take the stuff for the rest of my life, and there are no side-effects!
Even better, Walmart sells the stuff really cheap.
$8 per month and I'm golden.
She has never had an outbreak while I was on my acyclovir, and the other two women I have been with (with wife's consent) also did not contract the virus. No condoms, no problem.
But the key is the medication.
Considering how prevalent the fucking virus is, they should be putting acyclovir in our drinking water!
Apparently most pornstars have it, no surprise since condoms are non-existent in most porn.
And herpes is the
most spread disease after influenza world-wide! It is quite popular. :D
Valtrex is more bioaviailable, but much more expensive.
Acyclovir is the way to go and it works 100% for me.
Both work by inhibiting viral replication. The virus looks for a protein molecule to insert into new cells near its root (in the nerve), but acyclovir makes its way into the protein synthesis instead. This prevents cellular replication and spreading.
My wife says it does very little for her once her outbreak starts, unless she takes is constantly throughout the day.
When I have more than typical itching, I also find that multiple doses are necessary to quell the itch.
But if I stay on top of taking one per day, it never comes up anymore.
And I get to have sex with other women.
So don't be too discouraged.
Whether HPV or herpes, this is not a death-sentence for your sex life.
It just isn't.
Eight bucks a month isn't that big of a deal, either.
Just don't go spreading that shit around, because women have a lot more suffering from the disease than men.
It just isn't fair, but if it weren't this way the damn thing wouldn't be everywhere. The virus knows what it is doing.
Oh yeah - I can't eat peanut butter or anything with almonds/nuts.
The arginine content makes the itching happen for sure. Apparently this amino acid feeds the damn virus, so a lot of exercise supplements and sex supplements are out for us. I can always just take lysine and more acyclovir, but in general peanut butter is a thing of the past.
It probably isn't herpes for the OP n.e.wayz.
Red dots just doesn't sound right. Red splotches that turn into sores, maybe.
But you would know it was herpes then and so would the doc. But tests often do not detect herpes!
This is important to know. Only during an outbreak does a direct swab result in a positive test.
Blood tests are often negative even in people with the virus, especially during the first few years.
Eventually the antibodies build up to a point that it is noticeable in test results.
This is how they know that most people have the fucking virus - random samples of people on the street show a 70-90% prevalence of the antibodies in the general population!
Yes, most people have both HPV and herpes!
And don't even know it.
Virology is fun. :D
